How We Blew It
What were you thinking about on your cold walk home?
When the October breeze left you freezing and alone.
All those burning houses should've warmed your bones.
Did anything you felt get through that heart of stone?
As the leaves crunched underfoot I guess I felt
Like the dying thoughts of a wishing well
Like everything I wanted sank to the ground
And was lost in the wake of its own dying sound
I fell into a wonder
I fell into a daze
Like a living shadow
Like an out of order play
I let these gardens overgrow
Watched the fountains overflow
Saw everyone head back home
Plugged in and all turned to stone
Endlessly sing. Ceaselessly stray.
Like a single feather till the end of my days.
Swept up by the wind "˜neath a clearer sky
Landed in a meadow in the blink of an eye
Well we sang in love like high flying doves
And failed to see the black clouds swirling up above
The rain poured in sheets, the wind knocked us in gusts
And left there nothing but some feathers in the mud.
