Weekly Song #17 - Clover
from Weekly Songs 15-28 by Roger Heathers
lyrics
I write my progress in a book
And mark the pages every night
Oh, I've been wrong so many times
I've given up on being right
It's cyclical and strange
These people never change
The good ones always seem to move away
I am sitting on a city street corner
When I open up my eyes
And you are laughing next to me, Clover
At this broken neon sign
The first immortal man, they say
Is in his childhood bed today
But no one comes to wake the boy
Or send him on his way
It always feels the same
The static in my brain
Is drowning everything that I cannot contain
I am floating in a rubber-ring somewhere
When I open up my eyes
And you are swimming under me, Clover
As the moon begins to rise
And mark the pages every night
Oh, I've been wrong so many times
I've given up on being right
It's cyclical and strange
These people never change
The good ones always seem to move away
I am sitting on a city street corner
When I open up my eyes
And you are laughing next to me, Clover
At this broken neon sign
The first immortal man, they say
Is in his childhood bed today
But no one comes to wake the boy
Or send him on his way
It always feels the same
The static in my brain
Is drowning everything that I cannot contain
I am floating in a rubber-ring somewhere
When I open up my eyes
And you are swimming under me, Clover
As the moon begins to rise
