Did The Day Go Just Like You Wanted?

(album: Days Of The Bagnold Summer - 2019)

Did the day go just like you wanted
Or did you hold on with your fingernails
There were white-hot days in your youth
Not anymore
What's the point if we never learn
What's the point without the feeling
When the tears roll down on your cheek
You know you're alive

Let the rain pour down, let the winter come
You won't find your peace in a perfect home
And the perfect man has a crack
Trust him to never come back

Let the boy be unfettered and bold
Let the boy reach out for the infinite
When he's lost in confusion and doubt
You know what to do
And you know it's gonna be rough
But you never run from your gravity
He's a long-haired puddle of doubt
But he's yours

Let the rain pour down, let the winter come
You won't find your peace in a perfect home
And the perfect man has a crack
Trust him to never come back

And the dreams that you try to find
When you close your eyes
When the world is silent
Give yourself to a mystery
Open up to warm possibility
You are blessed, not ragged, not lost
As long as you love
