Sweet Oblivion

Changing memories they fade away
The hours and the days
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind

Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well i'm sick and i want to go home

Up to an empty room
Four walls around, nothing to be found
Of empty promises in a lonesome town
Let me lay you down

Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
Well i'm sick and i want to go home

The changing memories they fade away
In the hours in the day
While in the sunshine, the sunshine bright
I kept you on my mind

Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And i'm sick and i want to go home

Cry, cry butterfly
Heard it on the wings that you're going to die
Cry, cry butterfly
And i'm sick and i want to go home
Well i'm sick and i want to go home
That i'm sick and i want to go home

Jesus knocking on my door
Late last night and early this morning
Window glass, rusted and weary
I went straight through
Didn't hear no warning

Just a roll of the dice
And a precious vice
To bring you round, it's easier
When i'm wasting my time
And i'm losing my mind
Oh my mind

Try to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard not to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart

Dead end street, just out my back door
I heard what's seen, a young girl laughing
Now raindrops fall away like souls
I wondered if she ever heard mine dying

Just a roll of the dice, and a precious vice
To bring you round, it's easier
When i'm wasting my time
And i'm losing my mind
Oh my mind

Trying to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard now to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart
Trying to wait for the sky to fall
It's kind of hard now to see it all
Whisper a song of winter in your heart

Jesus knocking on my door
One last time, and early this morning

Don't turn away, you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
Ten thousand miles and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been
Where every woman's wasted

All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how, when no one really knows

Don't speak a word of all that you've been saving
If there isn't time then you should let it go
Into the fire and bring back all you've taken
Once more alone you'll never let it show

All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how, when no one really knows
Now what have i done wrong
Can't you tell me what have i done wrong
Baby tell me what have i done wrong

Don't walk away, you haven't yet awakened
Why don't you stay, remember what you said
Ten thousand miles, and everyone's mistaken
Look where you've been
Where every woman's wasted

All the while you've been sleeping
Drifting on a wind never blown
Tomorrow you'll wake up aching
Wondering how, when no one really knows
Now what have i done wrong
Can't you tell me what have i done wrong
Baby tell me what have i done wrong
Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me now

Torn like an old dollar bill
Girl let them say what they will
That no one should hurt you
And that's all i seem to do
That no one should desert you
And that's all i seem to do

I got to tell you, goodbye mama
We've taken this too far
Been trying to tell you what's going on
Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all i came to do
It's all i came to do

Now i'm down in the light
And i must be dreaming it
Cause i see clearly, i see angels here
Bringing something to me, mother mercy

I told a lie, i didn't mean it
Goodbye mama, i've taken this too far
Been gone a while
Been gone a long way, oh yeah

I don't want to hurt you
It's all i seem to do
Don't want to desert you
It's all i seem to do

I got to tell you, goodbye mama
I've taken this too far
Been down a while
Been down a long way

Trying to make it easy on you
Trying to make it better
Make it easier on you
It's all i came to do
It's all i came to do
It's all i came to do
That's all... been down a long
Been down a long, long way
Torn like an old dollar bill

A dog hides in the night
Don't know wrong from right
A dog hides from the heat
I need sugar sweet, i need some
But she says i'm going to ruin my mind

Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking paradise
All that i want
And a little water
And a little water
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking... paradise

Julie your mother cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking hey...

Hey lord keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall
Hey lord keep ahold
You don't ever know where to fall

A dog hides in the night
Don't know wrong from right
A dog hides in the heat
I need sugar sweet, i need some
But she says i'm gonna ruin my mind
Something's gone wrong inside
I'm thinking... paradise

Julie your mother cried
Sent home a bullet for the family
That's how your father died
Died a broken and lonely man
Something's going wrong in my mind
Something's going wrong inside
I'm thinking... paradise
Paradise... paradise
