Old Ben

I started light-hearted

It won't be easy like you said
I'm going flowing
I'm leaving on the day of the dead
I will never get, you will never get
I don't want to see you smile

Take my love, take my land
Take me where I cannot stand
I don't care, I'm still free
You can't take the sky from me
Take me out to the black
Tell them I ain't comin' back
Burn the land and boil the sea
You can't take the sky from me
There's no place I can be
Since I found Serenity
But you can't take the sky from me...

Thought I fell in love the other day
With an old friend of mine
I was running kisses
Down every inch of her spine

We had the roof down
The sun came shining in
The black fact is
That I was thinking of you

Choose your enemies carefully ’cause they will define you.
Make them interesting ’cause in some ways they will mind you.
They’re not there in the beginning but when the story ends.
Gonna last with you longer than your friends.

I tied myself with wire.
To let the horses run free.
Playing with the fire until the fire played with me.

The stone was semi-precious.
We were barely conscious.
Two souls too smart to be
In the realm of certainty.
Even on our wedding day.
