Morphine In Spain - LP

|

the grass was greener
she was a fairy tale queen
the nights were wilder
felt like a never-ending dream
they lived in castles
built high upon the hills
and traded oranges
for alcohol and pills
it was like
riding on a bike
hanging from a kite
yeah we did it right
morphine in spain
her eyes were diamonds
she sparkled like a gem
we dreamed of islands
and partying with friends
she bled of laughter
was naked all the time
and burned inside me
like parellada wine
it was like
riding on a bike
hanging from a kite
yeah we did it right
morphine in spain
no not yet, no it's too soon
baby i need just a little more time with you
i don't know if i can fly my way back home...
and any day i need to get away
i just think of you and us...again
she wore red panties
every new years eve
she lived off candy
and chamomile tea
i left one morning
but cant erase the days
of flying with you
over malaga in may
it was like
riding on a bike
hanging from a kite
yeah we did it right
morphine in spain

unlock your door my dear, nobody gets in here if you don’t let em, you won’t let em
be glad of what you don’t know, get mad at life again and watch the dice roll, slowly to the floor
but the walls are closing in and i’m panicking again, hang on baby please hang on to me
no bright light within my sight and i died the last fight, if i loved myself i could love you too
will you be forever, black and blue?
no not forever, that ain't you
gears spin within like lightning, each heard word eyes close just to hide em, safe inside em
you tell me you wanna change things, yet you keep doing the same things that got us here, why would i wanna stay near?
still you can’t see past your window and keep living inside the same hole you dug yesterday
pills add temporary hope but the life is yours alone to create, rebuild, rediscover and maintain
tell me it ain’t true?
tell me this ain't you
no not forever, black and blue
walk from the unlocked shackles, tell me bout a couple more battles, and we can go from there, anywhere you like
stop putting words in my mouth, stop telling me to slow down, we haven’t time to lose, everything to prove
if you find a way to fight a little harder every time, when you collapse revive quickly, babe the clock is t-t-ticking
the synapses will connect and the madness will lastly rest for as long as you decide you want it to
will you be forever, black and blue?
will you be forever, black and blue?
no not forever, that ain't you...

A, E
i never really knew what to say to you
D, A, E
i guess i wasn’t born to talk to angels
D, A
you saw things differently, sweet and glistening
E, A
you were always listening when we spoke
A, E
seems we couldn’t see, the true reality
D, A, E
the way your eyes viewed our world
D, A
you gave so selflessly, laughed so lovingly
E, A
you were fluttering over me every day
barre D, A, E, A
and(yeah) now i know, what i wish i did years ago
you were an angel all along - (2x)
A, E
you told me things change, they shouldn’t stay the same
D, A, E
i couldn’t quite face it with my blind eyes
D, A
you stated everything, was at my beckoning
E, A
never questioning a word i'd write
barre D, A, E, A
and(yeah) now i know, what i wish i did years ago
you were an angel all along - (2x)
D-E
can we just talk, one more time
A-F#m
can we just walk, one more line
D-E
can we just dance, so i can see you float
A-F#m
can we hold hands, before you have to go
D, E, A
oh i know, i just don’t believe its so...you're going home - (2x)
A, E
stirring in my sleep, i feel you next to me
D, A, E
i turn just for a touch and you’re gone
D, A
you gave your life away, loved me anyway
E, A
see you again someday is all i can say...
barre D, A, E, A
i hear, the bells ring, god's rounding up his broken wings
i stop and start to sing, yes its true, heaven awaits you - (2x)

i was home
waiting on a white train
waiting for the angel that left me
to return
ohhh
so slow these days go
and never i feel anything real
anymore
you
flew off with the warm wind
you waived goodbye before i
could say hello
now
i sit alone and wonder
what my role is
before my road ends
keep a watch on me
i'll keep a thought of you
tell me what its like
dancing in the sky
i hope you're free in heaven, butterfly
life
never leaves enough time
for people like you to stay and do
what they’re supposed to
and i
never have enough life
to give as much as i know i
can do
keep a watch on me
i'll keep a thought of you
tell me what its like
dancing in the sky
i hope you're free in heaven, butterfly
i find myself thinking about you everyday
these words write themselves faster than i can say
if you would have stayed, we'd have never learned
what it's like to see a butterfly...flutter earth
days
fade away to darkness
and i swear i see you hiding
in every dream
words
cant say how hard this
life is when you're living it
all alone
keep a watch on me
i'll keep a thought of you
tell me what its like
dancing in the sky
i hope you’re free in heaven, butterfly

its a strange place when you can’t show your face cause your buddy up and left and you feel like you’re left with nothing, man you’ve got nothing.
i promise you my friend if you just keep keepin’ on and let your little lady hen help you rise above this suffering, you’ll get back to living.
i’ve checked back and forth on your back forty, made two collect calls to your condominium in kaanapali
asked your gate guard if he’d seen you livin, asked your wine guy if he’d seen you trippin’
you’ve gone missing
you’ve been away too long (2x)
people come and go but the best go the soonest and the rest of us are left to figure out what do here without em, ah just miss em.
and you never can replace what the good lord takes away with a similar face or somebody who ain’t that somebody, who you’re still loving.
i asked the pastor for his best biblical perspective, mourn a month but don't let death infect ya
somewhere above you from a far off distance, he’s watching over us til the end of our existence
he sees you bleeding
you’ve been away too long (2x)
lost time, rewind...wait we cant do that?
what comes goes fast, can i get another chance?
lost mind, cant think, anything i wanna think
eyes blink, head’s numb, can anybody help me up?
unsure, whats next, whats next...let it rest
i know its gonna hurt for a long long time im sure, but if anyone can make it out and better make the seconds count, its you and me, and Leslie (endlessly)
i’ll be the reflection in your mirror to help you up and out of here but if you dont speak to my ear how can you ever expect me to hear you? hey i'm still here you...
i called the northwest porsche club and still no burnout, beginning tank full we all too soon turn out
i called your mother, wife, daughter, sisters and brothers, you feel the same pain as every other
dont go undercover
you’ve been away too long (2x)

my best friend lives in a second floor apartment on ninetieth street
just a few miles from me and i can visit any time of the night
she works on the west side of the city saving kitties in an animal farm
says the wine wont do her harm and she drink it like the wells runnin dry
"what's a few years?", she said, "when we waste so many all alone."
"what's a few tears?", she said, "when we've been soaking up our own."
"what's a few miles away, if we're far from where we started the day?"
"what's a little love to lose, to win the right to be with you?"
