Go easy on my weary eyes It's all I'll ask of you And while you're at it, Stay for a while Because I sure could use some company! And with every breath comes a sharp pain And I don't pretend I don't feel it I wince and whimper, loud as can be About my own personal hell The skies, once milky blue, have turned solid grey The temperature drops oh so low But not nearly as low as my spirit I could run and run as fast as my legs would take me But that wouldn't be very far Honestly, if anything, I think it would be like running on a treadmill On the lowest setting. And I used to spend my nights looking at the stars But the clouds have taken over And I've accepted this So I spend my time counting the cars That drive down my solemn path I think I'm at six right now Which is an all-time high! And I'm not sure of the future And the past is weary
The present seems a bit lonesome, my friend And I sure could use some company.
