lyrics

There is no substance to control

But yet I'm scared of getting older

The days are strange and short and warm

The evenings clinch is weak and splintered




Now we're back to looking for a home

Just like our lovely distant mother

Cause she fell in and out of love

We sat with strangers as we lost her




God grant me

The serenity

To accept the things

I can not change




Little sister your heart is gold

And your thirsty little roots are exposed

Be good, be brave, be bold

I hope you're nothing at all like I was




Now my dreams they come and go

Think I've figured how to gauge them

I swallow whiskey until I get slow

And wake to hear the neighbors screaming




As the blue jays greet the dawn with fearful praise

The bitter calm of coma peels away

Gog grant me the serenity

To accept the things I can not change

And the courage to change the things I can

And the wisdom to know the difference




Little brother hold the torch

Your mind's much bigger then you are

And in your blackness find repose

It aint the devil licking at your toes




There is the past with its white bones

I keep forgetting to remember

That it's retained with hooks and rope

That it is the frail framework of forever
