New Song
I've been branded crazy, even had the talk.
Of less drink, more sleep they'll be watching me like hawks,
From a moral highground, they'll be keeping an eye,
On my flounderings, failures
To acknowledge your goodbye.
Now I recognise I've been out to lunch, forgot to pay the bill.
Been preaching at length to him, to her, to them,
From what must seem like a windowsill, to all who think I might
jump
Into the abyss, the oblivious.
But I can't help that the sea isn't as beautiful as you,
And the sky doesn't hold my attention the way you do,
The blue of your eyes is the clearest blue I've ever seen,
And lying in your wake, the happiest I've ever been.
So I confess to the world what I feel for you, I ask them to keep
it quiet.
'Cause there's the voice of a bird looking down from above
Telling me that they don't buy it
When I smile, say I'm ok. When I laugh, then turn away.
Finally I say.
That I can't help that the sea isn't as beautiful as you,
And the sky doesn't hold my attention the way you do,
The blue of your eyes is the clearest blue I've ever seen,
And lying in your wake, the happiest I've ever been.
Mid 8 - I've ever been. Ever been.
Oh I don't pretend it's easy. Christ it's plain to see.
That I'm falling apart, you've broken my heart, I'm fraying at
the seams.
And you don't know. What this means to me.
That I can't help that the sea isn't as beautiful as you,
And the sky doesn't hold my attention the way you do,
The blue of my heart, is the deepest blue it's ever seen,
Lying to you face, the toughest I've ever been.
I've ever been.
I've ever been.
I've ever been.
