| Jet plane cuts through the clear, blue sky
|
| Left a trail across your eyes
|
| Tell yourself you’re not going to cry
|
| Felt so sweet to be on your own
|
| Once blessed with a heart of stone
|
| Never knew you would miss it so
|
| Devil’s child — looked like an angel
|
| Warm as the mouth — cold in the middle
|
| Should have learned to hold back a little
|
| Tossed across a hotel bed
|
| Live your live with no regrets
|
| Picturing the stream of days ahead
|
| Hard to stick to the straight and narrow
|
| Getting by — beg, steal and borrow
|
| Don’t think about tomorrow another busy day
|
| Want to let go — wait for a sign like breaking glass in the middle of the day
|
| old depts crash into the walls — into the windows hours at a time you count
|
| every minute of your stolen time bone and sky — caught in the middle spread
|
| your wings — measure the distance and soar soar — dive dive travel light —
|
| can’t take it with you map of time — photographs of a face — of an image all
|
| your hopes — ride on this riddle right or wrong |
