lyrics

TIM B. (for Joshua) w&m by bill mallonee

Now that lake was all sun cast until the storm came up
Maybe Athens Georgia never promised you enough
And I remember your smile; the one that held so much
Ain't it just the curse of youth to be so well in touch

chorus:
and your eyes were a lake
where the wind was never still
and your heart was a sky
waiting to be filled

Half-truth explanations from today's vending machines
And the boxes you put all your loose things in?
They've been lost at sea
Where sorrow is a diver who keeps coming up alone
and sorrow is a father at the end of a cell phone

Grief she holds you captive in a well as dark as night
and that ladder of composure you built all day
rumbles in a certain slant of light
It's leaving you reduced while you try to catch your breath;
And every tear we cry for our lost loves is really for ourselves

There's no poison there to infect you now
No secrets to erase
No need to do anything at all
except to be embraced
And you're all warm and dry there
Inside a blanket called the truth
And there'll be no more rain
Falling through your roof
