Long Dark Twenties |
In his late teens |
He felt so lost |
He never told what he felt to anyone |
He just took drugs and stayed indoors |
Spared from the cancer-causing summer sun |
At 21, he fell in love |
With a brick wall and it set him back |
The pain was great |
His feelings' crushed |
He smoked some hash to make it black |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
As he approached |
His later years |
The desperation took him by the throat |
It choked him off |
It choked him up |
The feelings inside became so remote |
He sized things up |
He was dismayed |
At how the years had flown by so fast |
He had a future |
He had a dream |
But all he really wanted was to have a past |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
People admit |
They’ve made mistakes |
And hope that history will not repeat |
They count their blessings |
And pray for more |
Hug their lovers and then go to sleep |
He sleeps alone |
He always has |
And after all these years, it’s not so bad |
But there are mornings |
He bolts awake |
And he is overwhelmed by feeling sad |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
Long dark twenties |
