I am content with the sky & sea
She says she’s unaffected by me
The clouds replace the moon at night
She disappears by candle light

The sisters of mercy stop & stare
Old photo’s & a lock of hair
In your dreams you hear them calling
Love & hate & the whole damn thing

I can not lie to my children 
Or clench my teeth & keep silent to try to try
To fall in love or to pretend 
For the sake of mercy or to pretend to try to try
So beautiful, so beautiful 
Hold out your arms & set me free to try to try

You pay for tickets in the front row
A crowd of doubters in the side show
They leave you standing at the alter
They’ll keep you warm & never falter

I try to breath & pay my taxes
But the earth is spinning on its axis
Its whiskey colored like a comet
that comet knows its heaven sent
