A message to all of you. Stay out of the war zone. Keep your head above the deep.
lyrics
I'm intimate with all your problems,
but I don't want to tell you mine.
It's safer to assume they're trivial,
& I don't want to waste your time.
I suppose we're all just terrified
of life taking far too long,
of plodding through the pain of boredom,
& falling out of love through song.
And what becomes of staying in-grown?
And what becomes of letting go?
The drone of a broken record.
A fear of how to grow.
And I know ...
This is uncharted territory for you & me,
just you keep your head above the deep blue sea.
This is uncharted territory for you & me.
We've just got to keep our heads above the deep.
Do you remember when your unblemished heart would sing?
And time was just an ocean growing wider?
Your virtue sailed an endless sky
as you'd lavish in the spring.
Your eyes were just a sunrise getting brighter ...
And what becomes of staying in-grown?
And what becomes of letting go?
The drone of a broken record.
A fear of how to grow.
And I know ...
This is uncharted territory for you & me,
just you keep your head above the deep blue sea.
This is uncharted territory for you & me.
We've just got to keep our heads above the deep.
Hall in white.
I sweep the lonely faces for a while
and learn that all their dreams
are memories.
