You can weed it all you want, you're still too slow
If it wasnt for the sun
All the roses would've won
And you pin up on my blouse a blue ribbon
Your lonesomeness I know
It was mine not long ago
I see it in your eyes, all dark with woe
'Cause the stills have all run dry
Pretty women passed you by
They're lyin' in a pile waitin' to die

And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine?

Half of what we know comes true
Your lonesomeness I see
But I know it's not for me
And them mountains all have crumbled to the sea
And the mermaid finds it there
Puts flowers in your hair
And thus begins your nautical affair
And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine?
And what if I never made you walk that crooked line?
And what if my love was raging, then would you be mine?
'Cause only half of what we know comes true in time
Half of what we know comes true
Your lonesomeness I feel
I can see it when we kneel
At the altar where the ocean bites your heels
But the beach is turning black
And the sandstone hold me back
And I lost you when we tumbled through the cracks
And what if I never gave you keys to the kingdom fine?
And what if I never made you walk that crooked line?
And what if my love was raging, then would you be mine?
'Cause only half of what we know comes true in time
Half of what we know comes true
It'll End Too Soon
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
But I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
Days unravel in a seamless thread
I'll dream and I'll live on
When the dream is dead
Years from now when I'm so very gone
Know that I did my best to carry on
From the saddest sads to the funnest fun
We kept it together now, what's done is done
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
But I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
May your days unravel in a seamless thread
I'll dream and I'll live on
When the dream is dead
I've been to the future and back and all is fine
Endless days of flawless time
You pick up a thing or two along the way
I was gone back then, still I'm gone today
I've been playing it close
Playing it kind of safe
I just stay and the goes
Whenever there's time to waste
I've been playing it close
I've been playing it kind of safe
I just stay and the goes
Whenever there's time to waste
It'll end too soon if it ends at all
I don't worry now
The friends of summer be the friends of fall
May the days unravel in a seamless tread
I'll dream and I'll live on
I'll dream and I'll live on....

I left her there back in the mountain
To see the world riches to gain
Oh, when I returned no earthy treasure
Could ease this heart so filled with pain
