Make me blue forever like an island sky

Let me down slow Help me go slow; I've been carrying on. I'm not scared of nothing I'll go pound for pound I keep death on my mind like a heavy crown....You bring peace to midnight Like a spotted owl .....All the sights and sounds This little world's too crowded now And there's only one way out An elevator ride Through the tunnel towards the light And I'm nowhere bound. Keep going up and down; up and down. Newspaper, Newspaper Can't take no more. You're here every morning Waiting at my door I'm just trying to kiss you And you stab my eyes Make me blue forever Like and island sky And I'm not pretending That It's all okay Just let me have my coffee Before you take away the day. ..Why all the tears? ... All the light and sound This little world's too fragile now And there's only one way out ...Let me down slow. Just help me go slow. I've been hurrying on I was poised for greatness I was down and out I keep death at my heels Like a basset hound ...
