Start In Light

The numbers have grown tremendously
That I could host a tea party
But none of you were tea drinkers anyway
Looks like martinis today

Straight up and extra dry
Hey Daddy, here's mud in your eye
Here's to all the dearly departed
And finishing up what you started

Just as a rocket splits apart a life
Barely a chance to make a start in light

If I don't answer when you call
I'm not ignoring you at all
Just trying to make sense of the senseless
Left here with thеse chumps
And their fencеs

And when I forget my head
Recall the funny things you said
And the way it felt to be near you
No matter which way the wind blew

Just as a rocket splits apart the night
Barely a chance to make a start in light

All of you warned me
This world could be bought and sold
So many people
Busy doing what they're told
But the right stuff
Ain't the right stuff
It's just old
And I think of you

When the cold wind blows
I tip my hat
A nod
A Cheshire cat
I got no answers, but I hear you
I just got to continue
Got to continue

Oh tell me what else can I do
Oh tell me what else can I do
