Present Tents

[Verse 1]

Deep in the pocket of the day

I found a quiet place

Free from my eight-bar loop of mistakes

No confrontation can take it away

[Chorus]

I lost everything

But here I am and I'm feeling good today

I was shattering

But here I am, a knife in the fire

[Verse 2]

There are no memories I would keep

Save for these last few days

No more resentments, fear or distrust

The light hasn't died but it has changed

[Chorus]

I lost everything

But I'm here and I'm feeling good today

I was shattering

But here I am, a knifе in the fire

[Outro]

A jovial, heavy jawеd, red face

Some grey in his close-trimmed hair

Like it or not he came to me

Like it or not he is always around

A grip of vicious compassion

A kiss of unconditional acceptance

And no one can take him away

He's more than a passenger now

He's my paradise
