lyrics

i never caught your sister’s name
or why she was alone
the comment on the pouring rain
was all that she spoke

the people i remember well
rarely gave advice
and never even tried to sell
that certain sweetness in their eyes

but the world is hard on
those who comfort
so we’re walking around
with chipped up shoulders

i used to think that strangers had
a peculiar disease
until you made the classroom laugh
with a joke you got from me

to think about my childhood
is to bring you back to life
i miss the way your smile would
bring out the sweetness in your eyes

but the world won’t bend for
softened soldiers
so we keep our eyes closed
while marching forward

i never start my car without
a big long heavy sigh
and thank the creatures in the clouds
that we got to say good bye
