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 |
