Grief Disguised as Joy |
Close your eyes |
Before you sleep |
It helps to keep |
Dreams alive |
A diamond sky |
Beyond your reach |
Some distant beach |
Like paradise |
How come the chosen few don’t choose you |
As they weave that mortal coil? |
How come the ones who laugh, leave you 'til last |
Then give you grief disguised as joy? |
Tomorrow so close |
So give up your ghosts |
Untouched by love |
And getting late |
Oh Catherine wheel |
How does it feel |
To twist and fly |
As others die? |
How come the chosen few don’t choose you |
As they weave that mortal coil? |
How come the ones who laugh, leave you 'til last |
Then give you grief disguised as joy? |
You play with fire |
I’ve been there too |
And the first hundred years are the toughest |
So it gets better? |
A little better? |
A bitter better |
But don’t expect to want everything you get |
Name | Year |
