| [00:13.66] | Tom is always sick about everything |
| [00:17.20] | Maybe it’s in his heart or maybe it’s in his head |
| [00:26.11] | He often prays for people like him |
| [00:28.69] | In the hospitals where it feels so grim |
| [00:32.19] | He tries to put the light of hope within |
| [00:38.50] | His parents, they don’t understand |
| [00:43.99] | Why he gives his time for the frail-ones |
| [00:47.82] | Instead of taking care of him |
| [00:52.60] | Tom knows he does belong here |
| [00:54.52] | But at home things are really heavy |
| [00:57.57] | That he planned to leave not to become nasty |
| [01:13.86] | Sweet Beth and her mother |
| [01:16.51] | Had an argument again about summer |
| [01:19.49] | That she wants to spend with her bunch of friends |
| [01:26.29] | Lately Beth lost too much weight |
| [01:29.30] | The bones of her spine are like teeth from a saw |
| [01:32.52] | Ready to cut her skin off to get it over with |
| [01:38.61] | She can’t stand her face and her reflection |
| [01:44.41] | In the mirror she found this is not enough |
| [01:47.51] | To feel well among friends when your family life is rough |
| [01:53.76] | When the corners of your mind are just blocked |
| [02:03.13] | And the only window of your heart overlooks nothing |
| [02:11.40] | Nothing but a lonesome track |
| [02:19.13] | You want to get out of this tragic plight |
| [02:26.69] | Where you are confined, you weep to get blind |
| [02:32.80] | You wish you could bury that voice |
| [02:36.20] | Pretending you have no choice |
| [02:38.97] | But right after that way, there’ll be a newborn day |
| [03:09.26] | Sometimes I thought my shadow |
| [03:15.90] | Was a long, long way behind me |
| [03:21.18] | But it kept haunting me |
| [03:24.40] | Because I refuse to see what I needed to be |
| [03:33.88] | Me, I want to go where my curing lives |
| [03:37.78] | And where the angels hum about |
| [03:40.97] | The defeats that were turning into gold |
| [00:13.66] | Tom is always sick about everything |
| [00:17.20] | Maybe it' s in his heart or maybe it' s in his head |
| [00:26.11] | He often prays for people like him |
