A COCKTAIL OF JOY AND REGRET


Today, the tide got turned in,
while we were fast and sleeping.
There was this smoke all over,
we couldn't get beneath it.
We couldn't quite explain it.
But we couldn't help but breath in.


If it's true we all get older
in the perfect way,
after all the wrong turns
we knew better than to take.


Dreamers pouring out the doors
of a broken promise land.
Something is going on
it will take some time to understand.
Like a yellow bird. Like a merry widow
on the tight telephone rope of a rhyme.
We all have a date with destiny.
Some of us must take that date blind.


Maybe the ground will feel good,
if I have to hit it.
When the world war's over.
When the dust has set in.
We won't be kept from singing.


When we gracefully get younger,
like we do. We do like we do. We do.


Today, the tide got turned in,
while we were fast and sleeping.
They blew their smoke all over,
could it really hurt to breath it?
