[00:09.93] I might go to the mountain to spy,
[00:14.74] And I see all the pretty snow,
[00:19.06]
[00:19.68] And I dream that dream I dream no matter where I go,
[00:25.62]
[00:29.31] We were still young like when we met,
[00:33.43]
[00:34.31] And I hadn't fucked it all up yet,
[00:38.19]
[00:39.06] And you wanted me to be with you like before,
[00:44.74]
[00:46.62] What I like about time is it don't ask why,
[00:51.50] What I like about love is it makes me cry,
[00:56.45] What I like about the bird is she don't need nothing but sky,
[01:02.89]
[01:06.57] And I know you tried to tell me then,
[01:10.39] No one could bear the shit I put on them,
[01:15.45] And I guess you wonder why you even let me in,
[01:20.14] Well so do I,
[01:22.14]
[01:30.20] And in my dream I never make you pay,
[01:34.89] For all the things you did and did not say,
[01:39.70] I was ready to be good to you,
[01:44.45] And make you stay,
[01:49.70] And you took me to the carnival town,
[01:54.21] And we rode the rides up and down,
[01:59.20] And we watched the birds watch us smile,
[02:04.07] And then they flew away,
[02:06.83] What I like about time is it don't ask why,
[02:11.70] What I like about love is it makes me cry,
[02:16.70] What I like about the bird is she don't need nothing but sky,
[02:22.64]
[02:26.14] And I know you think my life's a crime,
[02:30.76] And you talk about it to your wife sometimes,
[02:35.89] You all shake your heads and sigh,
[02:38.63] Oh believe me I shake mine
