David Wilcox - For Real lyrics
Death took the husband of a neighbor of mine On a highway with a drunk at the wheel She told me keep your clean hands off the laundry he left And don't tell me you know how I feel She had a tape that he'd sent her from a Holiday Inn That she never played much in the day But when I heard him say I love you through the window at night I just stayed the hell away Chorus: There's a hole in the middle in the middle of the prettiest life So the lawyers and the prophets say Not your father nor your mother nor your lover's ever gonna make it go away Now there's too much darkness in an endless night To be afraid of the way we feel Let's be kind to each other Not forever but for real My father never put his parachute on In the pacific back in World War II He said he'd rather go down in familiar flame Than get lost in that endless blue Well some of that blue got into my eyes And we never stopped fighting that war Until I first understood about endlessness And I loved him like never before There's a hole in the middle in the middle of the prettiest life So the lawyers and the prophets say Not your father nor your mother nor your lover's ever gonna make it go away Now there's too much darkness in an endless night To be ashamed of the way we feel Let's be kind to each other Not forever but for real Lucky my daughter got her mother's nose And just a little of her father's eyes And we've got just enough love That when the longing takes me It takes me by surprise And I remember that longing from my highway days When I never could give it a name And it's lucky that I discovered in the nick of time That the woman and the child aren't to blame For the hole in the middle of a pretty good life I only face it 'cause it's here to stay Not my father nor my mother nor my daughter nor my lover Nor the highway made it go away But now there's too much darkness in an endless night to be afraid of the way I feel I'll be kind to my loved ones Not forever but for real Some say god is a lover, some say it's an endless void And some say both, and some say she's angry And some say just annoyed But if god felt a hammer in the palm of his hand Then god knows the way we feel And then love lasts forever Forever and for real |
