Bless You

The only laughs I ever wanted

They came on our little drives outside the lines

The only sleep I really cared for

Was the ‘gently by your side’

The only thing I feel is ashes softly blowing

Life is a little bird in the wind at night

A demolition countdown quiet in the morning

I dance with the wrecking ball

On this lonesome side of times

I know I’m not very easy

And I use up all my tries

And the cherry trees out in the garden Wont even slumber when I die

I turn around and see my youth is gently smoking

Life is a drunken bird in neon lights

I clear the way and let it fly until it’s broken

I dance with a wrecking ball

On this lonesome side of times

In song there is a way to have you endlessly around

In love there is the catch: to bless you softly when you fly

As we’ll cross out there, in the open air

I’ll see your very eyes

I know there was a way to nod and gently say goodbye

The only thing I feel is ashes softly blowing

Life is a messy bird in neon lights

I lay next to someone else now quiet in the morning

I am my own wrecking ball

On the lonesome side of times
