| [00:29.00] |
Good days, bad days, I've had a few of those, |
| [00:34.71] |
Same old story-I know how this song goes, |
| [00:39.68] |
At least I did, but now I'm not so sure, |
| [00:44.57] |
Nothing's in its place, nothing's certain anymore, |
| [00:51.68] |
Birds fly, trees sway, why can't I be like that? |
| [00:57.47] |
Happ knowing what I am, in fact and leaving be? |
| [01:05.35] |
But truth has been obscured, |
| [01:07.66] |
I am only human and I'm always wanting...more. |
| [01:13.27] |
|
| [01:13.87] |
Oh, the world is a place and they say it's on our side, |
| [01:19.59] |
But I wonder, is there comfort in those moments when we die? |
| [01:25.36] |
Now I see, Mr. King, this was in the books you gave me, |
| [01:31.16] |
Which I read, disbelieving, thinking poets are depressed, |
| [01:37.92] |
Oh, Mr. King, I have changed, I confess. |
| [01:54.58] |
|
| [01:54.79] |
Oh, those good days I remember well, |
| [02:00.43] |
Tape on windows, wintertime was hell, |
| [02:05.30] |
But it was fun, and people there were kind, |
| [02:10.17] |
There was good work to be done, and I learnt to think my time. |
| [02:15.77] |
|
| [02:16.77] |
And the world was a good place, and in days were where I lived, |
| [02:22.55] |
I imagined life had purpose and I'd something good to give, |
| [02:28.28] |
Mr. Cave played along on the battered hallway piano, |
| [02:34.63] |
Oh, every love song a secret to be shared, |
| [02:40.92] |
Oh, Mr. King, how I wish I was back there. |
| [02:52.28] |
|
| [03:08.75] |
Now, I've got 10 things lined up on a shelf, |
| [03:14.39] |
Reasons to be cheerful for myself, |
| [03:19.31] |
I don't know why you're showing me the sky, |
| [03:24.56] |
You say you see heaven, |
| [03:26.59] |
I see hell, but want to try. |
| [03:29.98] |
|
| [03:31.03] |
And the world is a place, and I pray it's on my side, |
| [03:36.75] |
But I'd find greater comfort if I just lay down and died, |
| [03:42.46] |
I don't know what's become of the girl who once knew sunshine, |
| [03:48.90] |
What's become of the girl who knew sorrow but was strong? |
| [03:54.90] |
Oh, Mr. King you were right, all along, |
| [04:01.14] |
Mr. King you were right, |
| [04:06.09] |
Oh, Mr. King, you were right-I was wrong. |
| [04:13.98] |
