The Wreckage of Agathon
Well, Jesus Christ, is there something that I missed?
I burnt my heart out a-racing now right on off a cliff
So why keep me guessing
I already called your bluff
I sure wish you'd told me
That love just ain't enough
Now little Miss Sunshine lights the city by the sea
And me I'm quite fond of her when she talks to me
But kisses ain't for keeping
And Sunshine will fade
And when her light leaves me
I start to contemplate the grave
Sing, Lord, won't you save me when I call?
'Cos you've been gone for so long I wonder if you're there at all
Lord, I just need a helping hand
See, sympathy don't save me so maybe pity can
I met my poor soul sitting alone upon a fence
So I sat down beside him and asked him why he looked so bent
He said "Son, don't you know me?
Has it really been that long
Since little Miss Sunshine
Stole your heart and broke your song?"
See, I was out a-pickin' a few flowers from the field
To give to her for laughing and treating me so dear
But she, she couldn't take them
And it hurt too much to ask
So I quit my days dreaming
And laid my weary head to rest
Sing, Lord, now where were you when I called?
She broke my heart for no one, so I've given up on all
Lord, I'm so tired of empty hands
'Cos living ain't so easy even trying the best you can
'Cos we're just two lost souls
Wandering 'round in this broken world
And it's always been so-so
So don't tell me that you have to go
'Cos I can't throw away
All the washed up words I still want to say
But it's clear as the dark night sky
One by one we'll all say goodbye
Well, Jesus Christ, where can I go from here?
They tell me to keep trying but I've shed my last true tear
The lights are all a-shattered
In that city by the sea
And I still don't feel no closer
To having someone close to me
'Cos we're just two lost souls
Trapped in a world full of open roads
You know you don't have to go
The world's no fun to face all alone
And if I had one more chance
I'd trade it all just for one last dance
And we'd slide across the sky
And you'd never ever need to say goodbye
To me...
But I guess we'll see...
