The girl with daffodils in her eyes
Lets no one see her cry
She is the only one
To see a silver sunrise

To be a daydream
To be in love
To forever have a ten year old heart
Is all this girl could ever hope of

She knows after every heartbreak
She becomes a little more quiet
She sees her lips start to seal
While she becomes submissive to
Her own darkness

The less you speak the faster you die
No one there to console the flower girl
Trusting the ones she loved
Was her only downfall

The air had turned crystalline blue
It was a fog none could see through
Trees encased in ice
And the suns golden rays ever so slight

Farmland covered in diamonds
Dazzles few
As we have become accustomed to
Mother Nature's brilliance  

The tree dance
With the  melody given by changing winds
While the birds sing like angels
And the sunshine melts away too fast

Smoke rising off the Earth
In the twilight
Two lovers get to know one another
Better in this January moonlight

Soft orange glow
The strip
City of Angels
Los Angeles
Neon lights
The heart of rock n roll

Whiskey a go go
Lose and ******
The latest riot performing
Makin it all look easy

Bad boys of Hollywood
On the prowl
Hottest ticket in town
Hell's in crowd

Cult hero Jeff Starship
Has exited the stage
His last words put a curse on rockstars
Who adorn themselves in gold lame

Trash Metal
Super fast
Super heavy
How long can they last?

They got drugs they got grit
Their agent smiles
"They'll make it...
If they live"

You drive and drive  
You pull up to your late fathers home
You cry, you whimper
A thunderstorm approaches
To let you know you're not alone

High noon in Colorado
But the sky is dark
You run for yer mama
And ask her to mend your broken heart

Lightning only flashes
Rain never shows
The promised rain could have washed away
The problems that continue to grow

Your childhood house is abandoned
Weeds all around
You step out of memory lane  
Wearing a frown

What more can you do
Than to try to move on
While the sparrows sit in Colorado
And sing your father's favorite song

If anyone ever
Comes near my grave and asks
“What was her favorite time?”
Smile and tell them
It was Saturdays at nine.

The clouds are gone
But Austin is too
And now the sky  
Has turned too blue.

The birds mindlessly fly  
They sing of a pain I never knew
Their singing goes unanswered
The sky is too blue.

The sky is too blue!
The pilot cried
As he had just written
Austin's name
Up in the sky.

My car glides round the backroads
Music from the radio speaks true
Of all the good times we had together
The sky is too blue.

I used to say the sky is too blue
How I was once confused
I would say,

"Sky...
Why aren't you sad?
Why aren't you somber and gray?
Don't you miss having Austin on Earth
As much as I do?"  

The sky and it's clouds
Shed a tear and
Whispered...

"the deepest shades of sadness and melancholy
come in blue
my dear... "

A butterfly sails  
In a sky that's ocean blue
Near the cream puff clouds
Where Austin must be now
I wish I was up there too.

The pain remains the same
The pain of losing Austin which I can not evade.

Wouldn't it be funny
If this sad life was just a dream
And I could open my eyes
And everything would once again be rosey.
No one missing, no more dying  
Austin once again by my side,
Just as it should be.

I was in love with a man
Who didn't have no shoes
Ya that man was down and out
That man had sure turned blue.

I was in love with a man
Who was so beautiful and kind
Ya that man could have been mistaken
For a flower in the springtime.  

I was in love with a man
Who could play anything with strings
Ya that man was so talented
Did I mention he could sing?

I was in love with a man
Who had a heart of pure gold
Ya that man promised
We'd love eachother til we were weak and old.

I was in love with a man
Who had wavering tides
Ya that man was made of the ocean and the sky
I always was wonderin what he wanted to hide.  

I was in love with a man
Who loved his drugs
Ya that man could get so high
He would fly round me like a dove.

I was in love with a man
Whose eyes always looked a little lonely
Ya that man had a tragic lifestyle
He really made me worry.

I was in love with a man
Who reminded me of the sun
Ya that man was so bright
His light touched everyone.
