Free love, get some...

She cries like an old wooden casket But she sings like a new shiny harp She puts all her eggs in one basket And then she walks alone in the dark Mary Fairweather sits in her tree Watching the angels go by They hear her every so faintly when she sings And then they wake up when she cries She moves like a whiskey-soaked flag Drowning the wind with her sighs Moving her lips like a game of tag They never look into her eyes Mary Fairweather sits in her tree Watching the angels go by They hear her every so faintly when she sings And then they wake up when she cries She knows that she's going to have to get out Get up, get out of that town Close your eyes and hope that this time Will be when your feet touch the ground Mary Fairweather jump from that tree Don't let the world pass you by Let them all hear when you sing And they will be the ones that cry

'Leave that whiskey at the door And don't you come stumblin' in no more!' Cried my lady from her chair So I turned around and I walked right out of there Wild eyed and running around the night Drinking, smoking, and getting into fights I knew that I shouldn't but I should Why? Because I'm up to no good First I buy a big ol' bottle of Jack Then I take the hit in my cigarette pack 'do do dodododo do do' (where y'at?) I'm lost and I ain't coming back Back to my lady's house somehow All soaked in sin and so she kicked me out Clean up my act I know I should But I'd rather be up to no good Back to the streets where I roam I end up in some bar down the road And after many cigarettes and empty cups I'm stumbling, I'm barely standing up Wild eyed and running around the night Drinking, smoking, and getting into fights And I knew that I shouldn't but I should Because I'd rather be up to no good

And so it seems the seams remain unsowed And so we set off alone into the second act Take off your hat, it's not raining now As minor switches to major And daffodils deafen out the danger Danger knows only two souls One set free to the wind The other set too free into drunken buffoonery She wanders, stumbles, then stops He wanders, stumbles, then stop They both listen And they hear the sound of sweet, sweet music in their ears...

Eyes light up to the brightest day Baby don't you worry no more Your way will go A thousand times around Before you show up on my plane And right now I don't even know your name I know one day I will Until then... There she goes Round and round she spins There she goes... Oh my god you've got to be The prettiest thing a man could see Big brown eyes that can't be bought And keep a lock on that honey pot Until I show up on your plane But right now you don't even know my name She knows one day she will Until then... There she goes Round and round she spins There she goes... Counting down until roads cross like lines It's only a matter of time...

The lullaby did slowly fade Everything I lost had set the stage In varying degrees of grey Won't you brighten up my day? I could barely stand up When she left me dead and drunk In varying degrees of grey Won't you brighten up my day? Then you... You came into my life somehow And now I've found Color in the sound I'm afraid I'll screw this up But I love you too damn much So please be patient as we color in the grey And we brighten up the day For you You came into my life somehow And now I've found Color in the sound

And so we near the end Together at last But last and not least Ladies and gentlemen It is my proudest of pleasures To introduce to you... Act three

She took a chance and rolled the dice And sat right next to me I saw A beauty in your eyes my existential moment Had me caught up in your smile A thousand times again, I'd fallen for your style And authenticity that never ends She looked at me back from her book I waited for a second look As if each second my eyes hook was tugging you towards me And then what did I see A glow a thousand times more potent than I've ever know And so I kissed your hand and said hello For a while we will stay together I never want to leave that way that you make me feel Mary Fairweather jumped from her tree And after a thousand steps through fire she came to me

In The End 08:44
Sometimes you might feel like things were meant to be When you have everything that you could ever need But now I know just how much luck plays a part In everything that you and I did from the start I carried you in my arms from the place where steel crushed you And the earth did shake, the brightest days are done And now I know just how much luck plays a part In everything that you and I did from the start
