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 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

I 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?
