Dark Green Water

Great Grandpa

Compositor: Não Disponível

All things fade into dark green water down by the lake
Mistakes were made and that's the heart of this pain
But I'll rejoice, I won't give anything
But forgiveness once you have the courage to explain

I learned this phrase from my father
He said: No perfection can ever bring joy
Or: There's none without it
Like a life that has a start but no end

All aspiring comes with equal consequence
Like some things we abuse and the joys they prevent
And I'll numb or stall all fall and pretend
That dark water will cloak all our deepest intent

I said, you got this heart from your mother
She bears all our suffering through the longest of years
Too long lately, like a life that has a start but no end

I fear flawless life in a pure sense
Hold on best I can to a place where

All things fade into dark green water down by the lake
Mistakes were made and that's the heart of this pain but I'll reflect
I wont ask anything but forgiveness once I have the courage to explain
