a tune from many years ago

had to water the soil and watch it grow
'til my eyes could see no more

well she's leaving home, i thought you should know

oh why'd you go?
i'll eat you up, i love you so
oh why'd you go?
i'm so alone

campfire song

"the stars did collide and oxidized an atmosphere"
oh that's something we all live to hear
"there's nothing else the matter in the dark, empty clear"
and we wonder how we all grow in fear

how we were
we were the lucky ones
how we were
and then were gone

all life did collide to energize a busy street
where greedy men grind to make green
in the shallows of america, a young girl lives hysteria
the only way she'll manage to eat tonight

oh how we were
we were the lucky ones
how we were
we were the chosen ones

how we were
we were so young, in love
with no need to stare at the stars above

how we were so brave
how we were so strong
how we knew it all all along

there's nothing i'd rather feel
than this madness of a heart revealed
forgiveness of my every sin
to enlighten every bone within

i am loved alive
i don't hope to die
