lyrics

My hat was tipped, but not by me
Some daughter smiled at the theme
That shouted forth from my reverie
The texture of her skin
Reminded me of October air
Now, well, I think you know the truth
I gave my heart to you
To save it from me

And someday, maybe I’ll do
Better by God, and better by you

The years descend under then rug
Woven with time
And unbearable dream seem smug
When set against the baluster of feeling
Wrapped around my inner core
And now I just say “you know”,
Instead of “I love you” to show
A more refined side of me

And someday, maybe I’ll do
Better by God, and better by you

From this marble slab across the street
We mix our sacrament of flesh
To stand on moral high ground and speak
Of mercy with hands tightly clinched
And holding firm
And now, well, I believe we’re standing waist deep
In a ocean of mist that feels more like sleep
In a Blakean verse

And someday, maybe I’ll do
Better by God, and better by you
Someday, maybe I’ll do
Better by God, and better by you
