lyrics

well the world is slowly falling into place my friend
and the clouds drift by with nothing much to say
and I try but can't prevent myself from thinking, once again
how I held you close like I knew you'd float away

but now these arms are empty and I was almost right in the end
you didn't float you flew once your wings were on the mend

so some nights I will spend trembling, like a little child
lost without your laughter, without you
and some days will bloom with love and in remembering
I know I will be close, those days, to you

well it pays to shoot for "thankful" life is sweet but sad at best
til the entropy in your chest kindly gives your heart
some rest
