Oddfellow's Rest

     

     What you see here
     Are the fragments of a man
     Want to leave here
     Living in a garbage can
     All alone is where I’d feared I’d be eventually 
     I still hear my mother’s voice
     She sang beyond the stars
     There lives a quiet soul who wants to give
     And all your pain will one day be at ease

     On my leaving, all my loves have passed me by
     In my grieving, no one cared to hear me cry
     So my tears have all welled up
     Behind my cold grey eyes
     And my love for you denied by finding out that
     Life is just a time to hurt and feel the pain
     Of loss, I never was too good with death
     But time will fade away while nothing stays the same
     Then why am I to blame

     Silver moonshine
     Light the ground I rest my head
     Luck be with me
     I’ll be dancing with the dead
     Long ago, the yellow tint that frames the past was clear
     But I know that even though my life has been engulfed in pain
     I'll see the ones I love again
     And on that day the universe will smile

     But time will fade away while nothing stays the same
     Then where am I to go

     What you see here, are the pieces of a man
     Though I’m leaving
     No one here to take my hand
     In my passing
     Lonely seagulls took to flight
     In their mourning, restless souls will sleep tonight

     But I feel that even though I’ve lived life so alone
     Somewhere near there is a place where someone will embrace my arms
     And loved ones would be free from harm
     And maybe I could have a friend or two
     And live forever inside you
     Beneath the blanket of the moon
     Calm my fears to heavens tune
     While the time kept rolling on
