Well, I set fire to an apple tree
|
And I put it back out like a bad memory.
|
Yeah, I washed my hands in the flood.
|
|
Well, I took a sip of the trouble I've stirred
|
And I spit it back out like a four letter word.
|
Yeah I lost my head in the fight.
|
|
Well, I sat up high on the walls we built
|
And I felt just like a fool on stilts.
|
But I just can't get down.
|
|
Olives and a pair of eyes
|
Are floating in my glass.
|
And nothing ever seemed so strange,
|
But this I know will pass.
|
|
I've seen as far as the eye can see.
|
And I blew my mind in the lottery.
|
Yeah, I lost my chance.
|
|
Well, I've been told about the fiery skies.
|
And I've told my fair share of lies,
|
But I believe in mine.
|
|
Well, I've known folks as smart as dogs
|
And I've known folks like bumps on logs
|
And they're all fine by me.
|
|
Blue skies and my share of love
|
Are somewhere in the past.
|
And nothing worth anything
|
Is strong enough to last.
|
|
Well, I've done my time for the ills I've caused
|
And I've paid my dues in the bets I've lost
|
And I've got room enough to cry.
|
|
Well, I've seen out as far as my eyes can see
|
And I've tried my hand at the mystery.
|
Yeah, I walked in the land of the blind.
|
|
Yeah I made my bed in which I lie
|
And I burned the bridge to the other side.
|
And I'm standing in the light.
|
Yeah I'm standing in the light.
