A while ago, a very dear friend of mine had a final request. I shall honor it in the time I have left.
“And if you don’t know Which to Do Of all the things in front of you, Then what you’ll have when you are through Is just a mess without a Clue …” ~Winnie the Pooh
A little boy me went fishing in a wooden boat Sitting there for hours in the cold Patience is a virtue til we die Then a ripple in the water caught my eye
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor We go from green to blue to gold to black Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last
Only was last week I learned to drive Stole my Mother's keys and drove all night Christine never showed it's 4am Started up Mum's car drove home again
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor We go from green to blue to gold to black Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last
One year ago I kissed my bride Now I wait to hear my baby's cry Woman showed me all that she knew then To cut himself down man's born again
Sometimes we don't know what we're waiting for That's the time to be the first one on the dance floor We go from green to blue to gold to black Breathe deep, who knows how long this will last
Christine died and now I'm here alone What I wouldn't give to be on that wooden boat
I remembered black skies The lightning all around me I remembered each flash As time began to blur Like a startling sign That fate had finally found me And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve
So give me reason To prove me wrong To wash this memory clean Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes Give me reason To fill this hole Connect the space between Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Across this new divide
There was nothing in sight But memories left abandoned There was nowhere to hide The ashes fell like snow And the ground caved in Between where we were standing And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve
So give me reason To prove me wrong To wash this memory clean Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes Across this new divide
(Guitar solo 15 sec.)
In every loss In every lie In every truth that you'd deny And each regret And each goodbye Was a mistake too great to hide And your voice was all I heard That I get what I deserve
So give me reason To prove me wrong To wash this memory clean Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes Give me reason To fill this hole Connect the space between Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies Across this new divide Across this new divide Across this new divide
