Old, you've made me old, wise beyond how wise I'd want a body
Cold, so young and cold, I lie to yawn, to cross and dot... a note
I imitate, I trace your words to better fake a better
sorry, sorry soul, but sorry, "friends they never scold"

Mend, you made amends, you made a man, you make up men who break a
bone to fix a heart, paint it nice, and call it art. While beauty
breaks beneath the blues you sing for you, I sing for you. Now I'm
gone, a full day's drive and I'm seeing you when you're out of sight
