Wake up sailor
Your ship's about to take off
Give a last kiss on your way out
Wake up sailor
The tide in rollin' in
Seasons changin' you best be on your way
My dress is pressed to see you off
Your demons packed to go along
Wake up sailor
I just wasn't meant to sail your sea

I kneel before the green light of her singing crayon eyes

The hardest thing is to watch your loved ones lose themselves.
I once sang the line “these tears will fall no longer on your part”
and today it took everything in me to not lower myself to crying.

Tomorrow I will watch another baby be born.

The only girl I've ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening, 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she's a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And now we ride the circus wheel
With your dark brother wrapped in white
Says it was good to be alive
But now he rides a comet's flame
And won't be coming back again
The Earth looks better from a star
That's right above from where you are
He didn't mean to make you cry
With sparks that ring and bullets fly
On empty rings around your heart
The world just screams and falls apart

But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

And here's where your mother sleeps
And here is the room where your brothers were born
Indentions in the sheets
Where their bodies once moved but don't move anymore
And it's so sad to see the world agree
That they'd rather see their faces fill with flies
All when I'd want to keep white roses in their eyes
