lyrics

Light beneath the bedroom door
That slender break in the darkness
We were here some times before
Turning pages like apartments

Soon she’ll fold the leaves together
And disappear inside her dreams
I don’t know what to say
To quell the fury growing wild within her

I want it in the evening
I want it through the night
But I ask myself ‘is it worth the fight?’

I wake up in the morning
On the highway think I might
But I ask myself, ‘is it worth the fight?’

Bright brown eyes in my rearview
Tender hands that cherish me
I have not been a constant father
My mind turns back repeatedly

Take the stars, I give them to you
Try to hide my heart’s sick miseries
You will receive miracles and blessings
And make a thousand furtive plans before you run away

In a moment they’ll be sleeping
Left alone inside my head
Seek my approbation midst the living
And admonishments from the dead

I’d be the loudest voice in the ovation
If she put me down and chased her dreams instead
