Saving Grace

I’m not as quick as I was, but I get by

What else can you do but lay down and die?

The world keeps on moving, it don’t ever rest

I tell myself it would be nice 

If for a change I was life’s guest

The life of the heart is a terrible thing

It can break you in two or cause you to sing

Spend your life chasing rainbows or love’s saving grace

Catch yourself watching the years 

Mark the time in the cells of your face

Never could keep a secret, never had a life of my own

Always did what came natural, spent too much time alone

I’ve been blessed with a life to live, hope I don’t piss it away

Like a star makes a million bucks

Ends up lonely and broke, ain’t it a shame?
