Bless You

The only laughs I ever wanted They came on our little drives outside the lines The only sleep I really cared for Was there gently by your side The only thing I feel is ashes softly blowing Oh, life is a little bird in the wind at night A demolition countdown quiet in the mornin' I dance with a wrecking ball on this lonesome side of times I know I'm not very easy And I use up all my tries And the cherry trees out in the garden Won't even slumber when I die I turn around and see my youth is gently smoking Oh, life is a drunken bird in neon lights I clear the way and let it fly 'til it's broken I dance with a wrecking ball on this lonesome side of times In song, there is a way to have you endlessly around In love, there is the catch to bless you softly when you fly As we cross out there in the open air, I'll see your very eyes I know there was a way to nod and gently say goodbye The only thing I feel is ashes softly blowing Oh, life is a messy bird in neon lights I lay next to someone else now quiet in the mornin' I am my own wrecking ball on the lonesome side of times
