Nice and Blue (Pt 2) - MeWithoutYou[00:00:01]
You were a song I couldn't sing[00:00:13]
Caught like a bear by the bees[00:00:16]
With its hand in a hive[00:00:18]
Who complains of the sting[00:00:20]
When I'm lucky I got out alive [00:00:21]
A life at best left half-behind[00:00:25]
The taste of the honey[00:00:28]
Still sweet on my tongue[00:00:29]
And I'd run Lord knows I've tried[00:00:31]
But there's no place on Earth[00:00:34]
I can hide from the wrong I've done[00:00:35]
Then I saw a mountain and I saw a city[00:00:49]
Steadily sinking but suspiciously calm[00:00:52]
It wasn't an end it wasn't a beginning[00:00:55]
But a ceaseless stumbling on[00:01:01]
There strapped like a watch on my wrist[00:01:02]
That's finished with gold but can't tell time [00:01:04]
Was all or what little pleasure exists[00:01:07]
Seductive sold and useless mine[00:01:09]
Our horse was fast and first from the gate[00:01:19]
With the lead of a length at the sound of the gun[00:01:22]
Ant the last of our cash laid[00:01:25]
Down to fate (at 17 to 1)[00:01:27]
But the final stretch in the rear of the pack[00:01:31]
That nag limping bad in the back[00:01:34]
We reluctantly gave all the money we'd saved[00:01:36]
A fifth to the commonwealth[00:01:40]
And the rest to the track [00:01:41]
Then I saw a forest grow in the city[00:01:43]
And a driftwood wall of birdhouse gourds[00:01:46]
And I'm still waiting to meet a girl like my mom[00:01:49]
(who's closer to my age)[00:01:51]
The true light of my eyes is a Pearl[00:01:55]
Equally emptied to equally shine[00:01:57]
And all or what little joy in the world[00:02:01]
Seemed suddenly simple and endlessly mine[00:02:03]
I was once the wine[00:02:48]
I was once the wine[00:02:50]
I was once the wine and you were the wineglass [00:02:53]
I was once the wine[00:03:00]
I was once the wine[00:03:02]
I was once the wine[00:03:05]
When you held me [00:03:09]
But G-d became the glass [00:03:12]
All things left are emptiness[00:03:14]
But oh little girl you're just a little girl[00:03:18]
If you look out and see a trace[00:03:23]
Of a dark red that was once my face[00:03:26]
In the clarity of such grace [00:03:28]
You'll forget all about me[00:03:33]
