If I Were Brave

All the happy couples on their way to New Orleans

Reminding me of when we got along

And they're only renting time and space to fill up with their dreams

And dreams are what they'll have, when they have goneHow could it be that I was born without a clue to carry on?

And still it is the same, now I am older

Armed with just a will and then this love for singing songs

And minding less and less, if I am colderBut I have this funny ache and it's burning in my chest

And it spreads just like a fire inside my body

Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh?

Would I be saved, if I were brave and had a baby?It was never clear what would next

But that's the risk and that's the test

And you were the only one so far to follow

And no one talks about when one might stop and need to restOr how long you sit alone before you stop looking back

It's like you're waiting for Godot

And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and goAnd what the hell is this? Who made this bloody mess?

And someone always answers like a Martyr

Is it something you should know, did you never do your best?

Would you be saved if you were brave and just tried harder?So now, I ride the ought one thirty-five to New Orleans

I float a mile above life's toil and trouble

A thousand lonely lifetimes, I still wait and then go on

A clown to entertain the happy couples

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
