lyrics

Days blow through me like summer rain and I'm trying to make some sense of them, spinning like a weathervane at the mercy of the air. Glad we had a fuckin blast 'cause it's gone like through an hourglass. Jesus, how'd the kids get grown so fast? It's like I wasn't even there. Spring limps in on a crutch of green. I can't let this one slip away again, lost like looseleaf in a gust of wing, so brief it's hardly fair. Girls walk by in their summer dresses leave my poor heart in a tangled mess but I'm too old to hold much interest; I haven't got a prayer. Now the world we know falls down on us and the arms of love turn dangerous and there's nothing safe to hold or trust, dangling in the air. I spend my life living half alone, living too close to the bone but when you look at me when I get home it's like I was a millionaire. Now the world we know falls down on us and our love turns armed and dangerous and there's nothing safe or real to trust, living on a prayer. I spend my life living half alone, living way too close to the bone but you look at me when I get home just like I was a millionaire. Leave me here by the water's edge, let the river take me somewhere else. I can't control or trust myself, like a half-wild dancing bear. Days blow through me like summer rain and I might never get the gist of them but when I'm in your arms again it's like I was a millionaire.
