She said look at the moon,
|
It's like a fingernail clipping
|
A slippery light in the cold black sky
|
I gave her my coat, held her close and she cried
|
As the sun came up over the jagged skyline,
|
The silence amplified our beating hearts
|
And I didn't answer when she asked why
|
|
One life to live
|
Many paths to take
|
One twists and turns and falls away
|
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
|
And fade away into the night
|
So much to lose
|
Or so it seems
|
These idle games and children's dreams
|
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
|
I just keep moving on into the unknown
|
|
And I go walking alone near the St. Augustine bell
|
And thinking about you since you went away
|
We used to sit here and watch as the shadows played
|
And if I try real hard, I can remember that sound
|
Ringing out just like a clarion
|
Echoing off of the wall of the dark arcade
|
|
One life to live
|
Many paths to take
|
One twists and turns and falls away
|
And flowers bloom in brilliant light
|
And fade away into the night
|
So much to lose
|
Or so it seems
|
These idle games and children's dreams
|
How they confound and split the seams inside my mind
|
I just keep moving on into the unknown
|
|
You know being alone feels like I'm holding my breath
|
I try to be cool, I try to push it down
|
I walk like I know where to go on a Friday night
|
And the city streets are the fangs of a beast
|
Yeah it's always tired, but it never sleeps
|
I cry with the silence, dance with the freaks
|
Come on, I'm getting on into the unknown.
