farewell to words

sand in my socks
and tears in my eyes
there’s blood on my hand
and smoke in the skies
my brothers are gone
and i’m numb to the pain
can’t pick up the phone
now i’m dreaming again
so y’all can relate
you see i’m all by myself
and where can i turn
where there’s nobody else?
see i’m back in the world
and i’m living your life
i smile at the girls
while i’m dying inside

where do i begin
new york city
the place that has become my friend
i’ve walked my pain over your streets
once again…
yet you’re always there for me..for me

i’m on the westside
and i’m down by the river
my dog starts to bark
and the wind starts to whimper
there’s not enough time
to leave it all behind
i see all you love
my voice in your mind
dry the river for my soul
…
although my sins are getting cold
dry the river for my soul

where do i begin
new york city
the place that has become my friend
i’ve walked my pain over your streets
once again…
yet you’re always there for me..for me
yeah…
