City Park

The silken scent of ripe strawberries Seeps suddenly on the fairy breeze Who can say why scents come so strong It's been awhile since I wrote a song Did you even exist Seems like something from a movie scene That ended well for someone else I only got to watch the beginning I hear your voice And suddenly I see my choice in sharp relief We lived, we loved, we fought, we died Ah, ah, ah Buried us in the city park By the bushes of blooms and towering trees We'll sleep peacefully there By picturesque sky, earth, and water Divided forever But remembered by those who matter But you (come on) Thought it was right with you (come on) In retrospect I get you didn't check off all respects But you (come on) Outlined against that sky Shone like a hero then Light's doused and I'm not blinded anymore Anymore, anymore Anymore, ah You know, everything's fine I just keep grappling to get more time Too busy now to cook, to hang To clean, to climb, or write I'll stay up late - just who on earth Needs hours times eight? I'll just get by on five a night (a night, a night) Ah, ah, ah I buried us in the city park By the bushes of blooms and flowering trees We'll sleep peacefully there By picturesque sky, earth, and water Divided forever But remembered by those who matter But you (come on) Thought it was right with you (come on) In retrospect I get you didn't check off all respects But you (come on) Outlined against that sky Shone like a hero then Light's doused and I'm not blinded anymore Anymore, anymore Anymore, ah The sky is crushed strawberry pink I'm driving too fast for these limits I think Why don't I know, know what I want Why do they ask me, "What's wrong?" The sky is crushed strawberry pink I'm driving too fast for these limits I think Why don't I know, know what I want Why do they ask me, "What's wrong?" Well I've just been running more That's why I'm looking so gaunt The silken scent of ripe strawberries Seeps suddenly on the fairy breeze Who can say why some scents come so strong It's been awhile since I wrote a song
