Sometimes Blue

Born To This Life

There really is no other
And there hasn't been forever
But we're different clouds
Of weather
On separate sides of earth
And prayers they go unanswered
In languages unheard of
But your silence was
A word of love
That I could understand

Could I kill my love for you
I wonder if that's possible
Like looking at a word a while
And trying not to read it
I'd love to lay beside you
With my arms around your sleeping
But I'm leaving it by dreaming
And living on the run

(Chorus) And the crow stood
on my cradle
And spoke to me in baby talk
I find myself unable
To stand my ground
So I walk to God knows where
Stupid, crazy and wise
It never comes as a surprise
That I was born to this life

And it's old themes
With new screams
Calling on down the line to me
And every step deliberate
As if somebody planned it
I'll treasure sleep
And try to keep
A piece of you inside of me
To hold within my soul
When I let go of your hand

(Chorus)
