what about everything?
carbon leaf
holiday quiet on these streets
except for some stubborn leaves
that didn't fall with the fall
and now they clatter in vain
old muffler rumbles like an old fighter plane
from a life of tests where something's always at stake
where something's always so far
what about my broken car?
what about my life so far?
what about. what about everything?
and what about ships that drank the sea?
what about. what about the moon and stars?
what about soldier battle scars
and all the anger that they eat?
get away and come with me
come away with me and we'll see
if i was right on that night
before time takes each year
like a knife cuts it clear
then work and then life that just sharpens the blade
i think about time for fun
i think about time for play
then i think about being done
with no one left to blame
what about fortune and fame?
what about your love to obtain?
what about. what about everything?
and what about ships that drank the sea?
what about. what about the moon and stars?
what about soldier battle scars
and all the anger that they eat?
holiday quiet on these streets
except for some reason me
the hometown harbor lights bright
the sailboats clatter in vain
wind is high on this pier
i find it hard to complain when compared with what about. what about everything?
and what about ships that drank the sea?
what about. what about the moon and stars?
what about soldier battle scars
and all the anger that they eat?
what about. what about aliens? what about you and me and. what about gold beneath the sea?
what about. what about when buildings fall?
what about that midnight phone call. the one that wakes you from your peace?
