Some songs are so powerful that they just say everything, everything (without saying too much), about certain states of mind, certain moods, certains moments in life - and spare us the agony of trying to find the right, impossible words.
Sweet Billy Pilgrim - Future Perfect Tense
© Tim Elsenburg (Copyright Control)
Friend – rouse yourself
Cause the tide has carried me away
There are fraying and knotted ropes for me to blame
But we know better
Why I am all at sea again
So much for California
So long to everything
Friend – as the mercury blooms
So cold inside my chest
Tell my kin of a noble death upon the waves
Beyond all salvage
Barely worth the life and limb
So much for California
I lost my way again
Like an empty promise
A sail becomes a shroud
And the sky is falling down
