I just sat down and wrote these lyrics to an instrumental I had recorded a little while ago. I'm not sure if this feels finished or not, so let me know what you think:
"Slivers of Blue"
Tell me now, darlin' What's it say in that book Bout when the world puts its keys In the hands of a crook
When the sheep in wolf's clothing Sips the finest of wine While we scavenge like vultures Or starve waiting in line
Does it tell me to swallow This lump in my throat Shall we forge up the river Or is it wiser to float
When they take from us everything That could ever be took Tell me, my darlin' What's it say in the book
Tell me, what will they do When their thrones start to rust When the bones of their servants Turn to pillars of dust
When the food that they hoarded Starts beginning to rot When the strings of their puppets Get tangled in knots
When His eyes set upon them Will they run? Will they hide? Will they find any refuge In their towers of pride
Looking up at the sky They'll see only slivers of blue Tell me, my darling What will they do?
_________________ I waited all day
you waited all day
but you left before sunset
and I just wanted to tell you
that the moment was beautiful
just wanted to dance to bad music
drive bad cars
watch bad tv
should have stayed for the sunset
if not for me
