Nice And Blue (Pt. 2)

You were a song I couldn't sing
 Caught like a bear by the bees
 With its hand in a hive
 Who complains of the sting
 when I'm lucky I got out alive.
 A life at best left half-behind
 The taste of the honey
 Still sweet on my tongue
 And I'd run, Lord knows I've tried
 But there's no place on Earth
 I can hide from the wrong I've done
 ♪
 Then I saw a mountain and I saw a city
 Steadily sinking but suspiciously calm
 It wasn't an end, it wasn't a beginning
 But a ceaseless stumbling on
 there, strapped like a watch on my wrist
 that's finished with gold but can't tell time!
 was all or what little pleasure exists
 Seductive sold and useless mine
 ♪
 Our horse was fast and first from the gate
 with the lead of a length at the sound of the gun
 ant the last of our cash laid down to fate (at 17 to 1)
 but the final stretch in the rear of the pack
 That nag limping bad in the back
 We reluctantly gave all the money we'd saved
 A fifth to the commonwealth and the rest to the track!
 then I saw a forest grow in the city
 And a driftwood wall of birdhouse gourds
 And I'm still waiting to meet a girl like my mom
 (who's closer to my age)
 the true light of my eyes is a Pearl
 Equally emptied to equally shine
 And all or what little joy in the world
 seemed suddenly simple and endlessly mine
 ♪
 I was once the wine and you were the wineglass,
 ♪
 I was once alive when you held me,
 but G-d became the glass,
 all things left are emptiness
 but oh, you're just a little girl
 if you look out and see a trace
 of a dark red that was once my face
 in the clarity of such grace,
 you'll forget all about me
