There ain’t no reason things are this way.
Its how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Preachers on the podium speakin’ of saints in seance,
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.
I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing,

There ain't no reason things are this way.
It's how they always been and they intend to stay.
I can't explain why we live this way, we do it everyday.
Preachers on the podium speakin’ of saints in seance,
Prophets on the sidewalk beggin’ for change,
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name.

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same,

I only wanted to be closer to you
I thought i had something to prove
Instead i fled with my superstition
Because you are a woman

Now i was a poet since before i could speak
A man's emotions are what make him weak
I come to you more or less a humble man

I welcome the sun,

the clouds and rain,

the wind that sweeps the sky clean

and lets the sun shine again.

Well, I tasted love so sweet, played around but not for keeps

I never been knocked off my feet until you came along

In the room surrounding me are angels I cannot see

I know they come to carry me to where I belong

Now's not the time to be so sad and mournful We are going to the funeral and we'll be dancing the night away So, so, so don't be so shy, we are living and we're dying We are laughing and we're crying every single day

Strange we're not surprising, [Incomprehensible] How we tasted death like this to bring us together You know you'll always be my flesh and blood I could never do you wrong And the one who was gone for so long is coming home

Alright now's not the time to be so sad and mournful We are going to the funeral and we'll be dancing the night away So, so, so don't be so shy, we are living and we're dying We are laughing and we're crying every single day

We are getting older at the blink of an eye So don't let the moment pass you by I don't believe there is a greater love, one [Incomprehensible] and pain And the love between a momma and her children
And the procession down to the light house We hear the crashing of the waves and the mistakes we made You know that we are not the only ones so we can have some fun Have some, have some, have some, have some fun

When I arrived in my old set of clothes
I was half a world away from my home
and I was hunted by the wolves
and I was heckled by the crows
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know

Alongside my innocence I laid in bed awake
conflicted and estranged with the impetus of age

a desert sunrise, you warm my soul

painting me in shades of clay

covering me whole

and I'm a lizard, sunbathing in your radiance

don't forget, don't forget
mhmm
that I believe in you
should you forget
should you forget
let me remind
that I am behind you

I am a dreamer and I'm a lover

I've been let down and I've loved and lost

I've been alone, I've been far from home

Follow your heart, follow your heart

Beyond the rules of religion
The cloth of conviction
Above all the competition
Where fact and fiction meet

There's no color lines cast or classes
There's no fooling the masses
Whatever faith you practice

I believe that you were born

during an eclipse

and the stars named you moon child

then you come, you rise in to my sky

well the witches stare with their limbs akimbo
silhouettes of statues up in the window
call me to come here with a crooked crescendo
but i don't

devotees dance among the pantomime on the promenade
into a tabernacle on the lawn
but i don't follow

When the sky is falling from above you
And the wind is raging from the coast
And you want someone who truly loves you
I will be the one who loves you the most

When the masquerades in burlesque falls
But come too ordinary to boast
You complain about the rain and hurting calls

When I heard the news

My heart fell on the floor

I was on a plane on my way to Baltimore

IN these troubled times, hard enough as it is

hold this heart when I go
sing my song when I go
sing it loud when I go
sing it proud when I go

some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly and
some people are learning to die and some people are yearning to fly

Your gonna fall apart
It's gonna break your heart
Your gonna know that you were wrong
Down to the boatyard you'll run
Like you did at your graduation
Your gonna miss her when she's gone

Who you trying to fool?
