I didn’t know it,
You would be a fool.
I didn’t show it.
Oh you were so cool
As you burned the way.
I wasn’t humble.
Is that some kind of joke?
I courted trouble.
Your life went up in smoke
As you burned away.
I go astray.
I knew I could never be this way.
I could not be grateful.
And all I can recall
Is burning in fire
And drowning in alcohol.
I couldn’t stop it.
A train loose from the tracks.
I tried to crash it.
There was no turning back.
So just burn the day.
But I found my way.
A grace came and lifted all the pain.
And now I am so grateful.
Still, I want it all.
To be close beside you
From now through the curtain call.
