Sapling

I remember way back when I felt only ennui Like nothing could complete me No promise of a rising sun Illuminating everyone The very thought defeated

My life was a blinded light Must be what it's like when worlds collide Especially when he sees her Pretty soon he'll tease her I was on the road too long My laboured lover only song Not one of them a keeper

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone I know I'd try and find the will to be strong But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough? I once built a bower, I could build you a home Together forever but forever and on Is still not long enough, still not long enough

You look confused in your eyes And I could see myself as a child Such a devastating feeling I wished I could go back in time But all I could do was apologize Right then your eyes were healing Healing

Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone I know I'd try and find the will to be strong But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough? I once built a bower, I could build you a home Together forever but forever and on Is still not long enough, still not long enough

Oh, I've been Cain but I wanna be Abel Been a drunken fool but I wanted to be stable enough To lay every one of my cards on the table Hope it's not too late for us to find a way to

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone I know I'd try and find the will to be strong But am I strong enough? Am I strong enough? I once built a bower, I could build you a home Together forever but forever and on Is still not long enough, it's still not long enough

I will look, get inside myself for a home Find only a sapling in search of an oak Better to start my love, oh, it's a start my love But am I strong enough?
