May Your Lovers Never Weep
You're a lover and fighter, you're a king without a crown,
And every bridge you build up, you somehow burn it down. Your mind's getting restless. Your heart starts to roam. You look around your living room and you never feel at home. Your friends call you crazy and never tell you why. Well, maybe they see something of themselves inside your eyes. And if the dawn is breaking before you've gone to sleep, may the road not be ragged and may your lovers never weep. She'll look at you with wonder then try to mold you with her hands. And you know she'll never compromise so you love her as you can. She'll want you to be gentle and then she'll want you to be tough. She'll want you to be everything and sometimes that just ain't enough. Cause everyone needs a martyr to carry all their crimes, But you can't be a hero and a villain all the time. And if the dawn is breaking before you've gone to sleep, may the road not be ragged and may your lovers never weep. So you crash your motorcycle and shoot your shotgun at the rain, Smoke a borrowed cigarette and say I won't be back again. Cause heaven don't come easy and hell just ain't that good. Maybe there's another lost soul in New York or Hollywood. And you can sell your possessions. You can change your state of mind. But the hardest things to part with are the things you leave behind. And if the dawn is breaking before you've gone to sleep, may the road not be ragged and may your lovers never weep. |
