Twenty Years and Change |
Jim played piano in a band called 'Angry Witness' |
Out to fight the system in the fall of '81 |
Like all his friends he felt peace |
Could we have for the askin' |
It was just a matter of convincing the old ones |
They broke up on John and Yoko’s anniversary |
Went seperate ways like most bands do |
Same ol' frustration when they saw |
The times were not a-changin' |
Jim warmed up to the cold hard truth |
Jim plays piano, a simple weekend warrior |
At a cosy little mad spot just a few blocks from his home |
He wakes up every mornin', has breakfast with his children |
Sweet wife smilin' at him, thinks how good my life’s become |
This past Thursday was their 14th anniversary |
Owned their own sweet home since '92 |
Monday through Firday |
He sells those new lots off the highway |
Wreith on the door, Red, White and Blue |
Sometimes he wonders how did one man get so lucky |
And what happend to his anger and his vow to heal the world |
In just over two decades he has watched the earth revolvin' |
Now just simple problem solvin', twenty years and change |
How long did I love you before my heart stopped breakin' |
Since the night I stood there shakin' when you ran out of my life |
Now I think it’s time I told you, even if you show no interest |
How I came to feel forgiveness and finally set things right |
It was twenty years, two months and five day this December |
You wiped your shoes off on my heart |
Hard to be realistic to betray a kid so idealistic |
Flames of faith put out in the dark |
Then one cold mornin' a real live frosty Friday |
I turned to the pain beside me and I realized it was gone |
I tore up all your pictures, never thinkin you might find me |
Time to put that junk behind me and wonder why it took so long |
Now here you stand on what would be our anniversay |
Tellin' me how tough life’s been on you |
No satisfaction for I realized we’ve lost all attraction |
Movin' on is all that’s left to do |
God, I feel so foolish for what seemed so devastatin' |
And the love I had for hatin', was a tragic waste of time |
Somehow I feel like laughin' with that free weight lifted from me |
Oh, how wisdom does become me |
Twenty years and change |
