Hat On, Drinking Wine - Her Love lyrics

rate me

Ed Whalen

He sits alone in silence starring at the sky

A stranger to the strung out places he can’t hide

goodbye afternoons and letters from the insides

and the days that seem to linger quietly

And all the battered people stop to say hello

hoping for better days where did they all go

and all the innocence that wells from his eyes

are gone from him so quietly

and she said

don’t erase

the things inside your head

They’re the things that keep you safe when you’re all alone in bed

so he sits with his secrets and his sun up above

and his flowers that will never fade away

like her love

she told him dreams of absolutes and infinities

momentary lapses in the reality of little things

unforgotten hand-holds when he was a better man

are gone from him so quietly

But it’s never the same-the howling times

That swirls in the wind and hides-the raging inside

A flower that blooms is a flower that dies

Wasting its breath on the same old lies

It’s better to be

alone quietly

He sits alone in silence and dismay

hoping for the rain to come and wash it all away

goodbye afternoons and letters from the insides

and the days that seem to linger quietly

and she said

Dont erase

the things inside your head

there the things that keep you safe when your all alone in bed

so he sits with his secrets and his sun up above

and his flowers that will never fade away

And the colors that always want to stay

and his flowers that will never go away

Like her love
