So Gently We Go

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Fill my head with your nonsense You breathe my breath 'till I turn red Close your eyes try to follow me If you close your eyes you can become me You can park your shoes on my front step Then gently walk barefoot through my sunken chest I'll shade my eyes from the burning sun But feel confident 'cause we're as bold as love And laughter Wake me up when the day is late So I can watch the sunset and go back to bed And dream so real the fantastic state Psychodramatic means to uncertain ends I'll scare you blind with my confidence As cool as Jesus and his twelve best friends The reason we can do these things is that the Earth has told of an outrageous spring.... Remembered We'll meet for breakfast in the sunroom The feeling in my soul as sweet as good perfume Leave your sex at the door come in There's ecstasy for all, no need to leave your name Pirouettes we will make in game On the ceiling movies of our lives will play The reason we can do these things Is that our minds are clouded And we can't see straight Maybe I've played my part But it's a players art Me and my friends we were all just living... playing I've heard the sound that silence makes And I realize the world can break From the inside out and outside in On a breath of wind
