40 Hours

Lately after dark I've been wandering through the park With the angry words you said Wandering through my head There's nothing I can do To keep from feeling like I blew The only chance I had to make it better The shadow on the wall Is looking down from 10 feet tall And I wonder what it sees As I stumble through the streets To never feel alone It seemed written down in stone But now it's all I can do To try and forget her 40 hours and counting I could shut my eyes And sleep here Warning comes and goes And I'm tangled in the throes In the stillness of my room And the bandage on my wound My heart becomes a bird She said freely, just a word And now I'm wishing That I had never met her 40 hours and counting I could shut my eyes And sleep here People rushing by Out the corner of my eye A kaleidoscope of bloom A mirror broke in two A thousand little stars And a million little wars Scattered out upon the open desert 40 hours and counting I shut my eyes And sleep here A world is set ablaze By a never ending haze And you're closer than a tear I see you ever clear The rush is in the veins And there's nothing else to blame But every minute Every hour, every second 40 hours and counting I shut my eyes And sleep here Shut my eyes and sleep to dream Lately after dark I've been wandering through the park With the angry words you said Wandering through my head There's nothing I can do To keep from feeling like I blew The only chance I had to make it better
