Just a Song
upon this hopeless journey into night
I lie awake and stare with all my sight
that's you up there in a cozy sweater
you'd leave here now that it's for the better
I ask again, "are we still friends?"
I ask again, "are we still friends?"
it's frightening this feeling I get
out of desperation I wonder, "are we dead yet?"
by God I just cannot tell
your body's scent I still can smell
I ask again, "are we still friends?"
I ask again, "are we still friends?"
depression ebbs and flows-- the shore is insanity
"I'll make one last desperate attempt"
the reader's eye is left on the beach
her life is lost-- love out of reach
I ask again, "are we still friends?"
I ask one last time, "can we still be friends?"
somehow I survive now I don't see how
and replaced I am with another lover man
the Vineyard it is. The wharf is my womb on it I'll die
the March-tide waves rest over my soul
"I take this pill because of you"
she said, "I take this pill because of you!"
and I said, "I wrote-down this song all because of you
I wrote a whole bunch of songs just because of you"
