Book Of James

On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart

and behind him the girls played double dutch in the park

The sun began to burn his snow white skin

I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere..

Storm clouds began to form in his head

and crisscrossed his mind like a restless angry ocean

And the howling of hardship and heartache

kneeled and grinned in his face

He stood there in his boots unable to move

And i came here to tell you that i love you

And here lies my green eyes

rolled back in my head, but they're alive

and all these words can all get spoken

just know we tried

and you're forgiven

He made his way down the boulevard

near the 99 cent stores and garbage in the yards

And he began sing

about the crickets and the backroads where we used to play

I guess your either headin' somewhere or endin up somewhere..

cause I tried the bible, tried the bottle, tried the needle, tried to

love people

And in the end there aint much to say

And in the end there aint much to say anyway

And i stand here in my shoes, unable to move

my hat in my hands, at the bottom of the ocean.

And here lies my green eyes

rolled back in my head but they're alive

and all the words can all get spoken

just know we tried

and you're forgiven

you're forgiven
