Fatherless & the Widow lyrics

Questions flew
And words were hurled into the air
And when the smoke had cleared
I saw you lying there
I used my words like bullets in a gun
To pick your ego off like skeet flung
In the gallery of fools

Too many words come from my mouth
I wish would remain unsaid
Oh Ive had to eat them all and now I must confess

It was a silly thing to say to you
It was a silly thing to say to you I know

Standing in the middle of a forest
Basking in the glorious autumn
Watching the leaves as they change
From green from green to orange yellow and brown
Im falling down
Im falling down

My emotions are deceiving me
Blinding my eyes from my nature
Robbing my quiet solitude
Of tranquility of tranquility
Im falling down
Im falling down

Oh let these falling leaves cover me
Let me sink into the ground

Let me, let me know what makes you happy
And I'll do it over, over and over again

Let me, let me know just how you love me
And we'll spin around again in this field of flowers we're in

I wish to quote from Whitman now
To show the way I feel, I feel about you
Oh about you
Because it's a subtle electric fire you light in me
Every time I see you

History merely repeats itself
Nothing in this world is truly new
The sea churns as it feeds from the river at its mouth
The wind blows across the land from north to south
The laboring man spends his life getting nowhere

Meaningless
Its all meaningless
All my life and labor is foolish
And now I dont have a reason anymore

Come now be merry drink your drink
Devour your feast dont stop to think

Mysteries unfolding quickly before my eyes
In a way I saw the world in one night
Without even leaving
Without even leaving the room

Golden cymbals catching light
The flowing veils of dancers in the night
Put me in a swoon

Beating drums and violins so mystical and freeing
These things that Im seeing
Theyre so wonderful

Oh the world is such a big place
And you have redeemed it

Tell me father are you riding on
The fictional bus up to heaven above?

Do you listen to the angels on the outskirts
Have they persuaded you?
Oh tell me father
Perhaps you have been persuaded before
I just want to know where your body and soul
Roam tonight

But I know I'll never know
Until I pass away to the next life
I know I'll never know
Where your soul roams tonight

Big time bright lights
The world is looking for someone to show them the daylight
But its not me I am not the one
For simple love look to the son

Spotlight get me out of this spotlight
It looked okay but somehow it doesnt feel right
A lifelong dream now reality
I never thought that it could happen to me

Big time high life
Shattered hopes and disillusioned insight

Fatherless and the widow
Stricken down by the hand of death
Grasping for security
Anticipation of the imminent next
Of the imminent next

The fatherless and the widow
Find their souls filled with fear
Her lover gone forever
His hand to hold is never coming back
Never coming back

Behind closed doors they cry their tears
Behind closed doors they reveal their fears
To the God in heaven above

Trust in the Lord
With all your heart
Lean not on your own understanding
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will make your path straight
Don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
Just trust in the Lord
With all your heart
And he will carry you through

Lord, sometimes it gets so tough
To keep my eyes on You, when things are going rough
But then I turn my eyes up to the sky

trust in the Lord with all your heart
lean not on your own understanding
in all of your ways acknowledge Him
and He will make your paths straight
don't worry about tomorrow
He's got it under control
just trust in the Lord with all of your heart
and He will carry you through

Lord, sometimes it gets so tough
to keep my eyes on You
when things are going rough
