You Ain't Worth Suffering For

(album: Dragonfly - 2017)

Sing me a song in the redwood trees
Where the Devil don't bite and the heart's don't bleed
And the soul is a river with a winding path
And the water is a lover and the love is a raft
And if I was enough to get you high
Make it across, hope to die
But the water is a sin, I could fall right in
And I cannot swim

I reach for the sky
Walk on the Sun
Tell you no lie
Give until the day my money is gone
I teach for the child
Preach for the whore
Baby you ain't worth suffering for

Cover my ears when you burst the balloon
It's a constant fight with the man on the moon
He's a liar, he's a cheat, he's a shame, he's a pity
'Cause he gives good head and he calls me pretty
But I [blessed his heart?], it's gone too far
Wait in the dark and I howl at the cars
Maybe you can wish upon a falling star
But it's gonna leave a scar

I reach for the sky
Walk on the Sun
Tell you no lie
Give until the day my money is gone
I teach for the child
Preach for the whore
Baby, you ain't worth suffering for

Well I give you what's mine and you take what's yours
And you wait in line for the last applause
It don't bode well that I like you bigger
When I'm by myself with my hand on the trigger
You make me blind, make me lost
Nail my hands, hang me on the cross
But I will not cry for you
I'll just enjoy the view

I reach for the sky
Walk on the Sun
Tell you no lie
Give until the day my money is gone
I teach for the child
Preach for the whore
Baby, you ain't worth suffering for

I walk on the Sun
I beat on the drum
Give until the day my Savior comes
I scream for the weak
I'll fight for the war
Baby you ain't worth suffering for
You ain't worth suffering for
You ain't worth suffering for
You ain't worth suffering

(Reach for the sky)
(Reach for the sky)
(Reach for the sky)
(Reach for the sky)
(Reach for the sky)
(Reach for the sky)
