Tricky Questions

It took forever to get dark

Til the summer sky was full of stars

You told me I’d been looking tired

Under a lover’s moon I felt inspired

And you’d been asking tricky questions

I had no words although I tried

To see the back of a depression

It felt so good to be alive

It felt so good to be alive

It felt so good to be alive

I’d seen you eating apricots

In the country time forgot

Nectar running down your chin

Marking the places I had been

The moonlight shone upon the sculptures

They smile for something I don’t know

And when you asked about devotion

I only thought of Leonard Cohen

Take two parts and make them one

Nightingale singing its song

And as the world awoke once more

I was waiting at your door

And you’d been asking tricky questions

I had no words although I tried

To see the back of a depression

It felt so good to be alive

It felt so good to be alive

It felt so good to be alive
