Liza

Dear Liza, it happened again Had life by the handles, was ready to begin And now it's seepin' out the side I'm over tested over tried Feeling like givin' in It always seems to happen this way I get ready to go and something comes along and Makes me stay Dear Liza, do you realize that there's a hole? Dear Henry, I know that it hurts You do all you can to fix it, and it only gets worse And now you're runnin' out of straws Babe let's take another pause and make it work We'll cut it up a different way Break it into pieces, give you what you need to Face today Sometimes ya, cut it down to size to face the whole Dear Liza, I hear that you care But I've walked like this for too long, with too much to bear And now the pace has gotta lull Knife's tired and it's dull Ready to rust somewhere It's better if I give in this way I'm ready to go and finish my song Because I can not stay Dear Liza, don't think that it'll rise this sinking stone Dear Henry, you stand where i've been And I see a beginning where you see an end So if you'll let me help you start Babe we'll soften up your heart And let new life in We'll wash away the tears and the rust Together we are strong, help you move along If you can trust Sometimes ya, gotta realize you're not alone
