Boys

Thought I was drowning in that bed couldn't get the moon outta my head so I woke before the break of day and walked along the coast of Galway Sittin' at a boardwalk bar drinkin' a whiskey feeling all the rage of a modern man We used to feel our rage just like the sea now we get it on an installment plan All my love to you and yours and all the baby boys they're dressing them in blue teaching them that life's a war I guess I'm a long way from where I was drunk off my ass in some suburban town I betrayed my friend, nineteen and Darwinian I'll never live that down But I fell into a good girl's good graces and I poured my heart right into hers She's more an Artemis in muddy laces than a Venus in furs All my love to you and yours and all the college boys they're dressing up in suits thinking life's a war Spring is coming let me be like the cherry tree renewed and fruitful All my love to you and yours and all the college boys they're dressing up in suits thinking life's a war
