23 Years
it started on a summer's day
when the sun did not console me
a boy with only longing
for some soulful girl to hold him
it started on a summer's day
when the sun did not console me
a boy with only longing
for some soulful girl to hold him
all I wanted
was a little of what
I should not have
so I had a little
I always dream of something more
than what I had the day before
it's not that I don't have enough
before you go and call my bluff
when all the world was tripping
I was in my room
writing songs for no one
hoping you would show up soon
I know who I am
I know what I'm not
so better be sure
when taking a shot
they say you write your own disaster
well sunshine I got news
odds are someone somewhere will go faster
or you’ll just wear out your shoes
and if it all goes south
I know I'll still have you
you are my mouth to mouth
no artist ever drew
an old man stands still
as soldiers protect his fields
knowing they are sons
Jesus said to turn the other
Jesus said on taking a lover
there can be no divorce
and Jesus is right of course
we move beneath the darkness
we slide between the cracks
we are the ones who never find
gold on beaten tracks
