Gloom

 

What are you thinking

Why are you shrinking

Who’s in your prayer tonight

Who would have thought you’d

Kiss your fears goodbye

 

Who were you kissing

What are you missing

Who’s in your lullaby

Who would have thought you’d

Kiss your love goodbye

 

There was a time

There was a place

Where people grew

And children played

 

There was a time

There was a place

Where dreamers knew

Their visions were safe

 

You’ve travelled high

You’ve travelled low

You’ve searched for every way to go

Your brow is high

Your spirit’s low

But gloom looks good on you

 

What’s in your kindling

Why are you dwindling

Setting your cage alight

Who would have thought you’d

Kiss you dreams goodbye

 

Why are you sinking

Why aren’t you blinking

Watching the clouds go by

Who would have thought you’d

Kiss the world goodbye

 

This is a time

This is a place

Where children grew

And people play

 

This is a time

This is a place

Where you can know

Your visions are safe

 

You travelled high

You travelled low

You to find the way back home

Your spirit’s high

Your body’s below

But gloom looked good on you
