My Old Ways
If I was crying on the way back home, it was for life and nothing more and nothing less. If I’m a thief like you say I am, well then I’m keeping everything that I’ve stolen and if your world turns cold and, suddenly, your old you can come back and find me sometime. I’m still here, just counting up the years, but I’ve been getting pretty good at getting by. So if I am spending every cent I make it’s just because money kind buy me nothing true. If I’ve been sleeping for half my life, well that’s alright because I’m just dreaming of you and the way that your hair melts into the air and how your laughing looks just like crying. My dove, my dove, well I don’t see you enough but I’ve been getting pretty good at getting by. So if I was singing a sad, sad song it’s just because beauty sometimes gets mixed with pain, and if I’m not the man that you thought I was, well I’m sorry, I’m just stuck in my old ways and my sorrow grows wings with every song I sing and it flies out somewhere into the night. I know, I know it will find its way back home but I’ve been getting pretty good at getting by.
