Lesson Park

She took pictures I'd never see

Somewhere down on fade street

Rosie Hackett spoke to me so clear

I forget the day we planned

But I would not give up that dance

She promised me and told me to stay near

Gave the smoke from out her mouth

Took me to her brothers house

Somewhere far along the Irish sea

Baby I don't know what's true

Except your eyes so bathed in blue

You lie and that's just not that way you bleed

Lips held like a sunken hallow bell

That used to ring so clearly

I can tell that your scared of where you fell

But the past can be so deceiving

Boy if you keep chasing her

Better teach you how to work

Walk around like you've got two left knees

Mind been stuck on genuine

Miss the scars that mark your skin

Embrace that you know less than it did seem

Who ever will read written words

Her long lashed eyes and bitter curves

She lives on lesson park to find the sea

Soldiers fall and cities grow

Curse the hand of yours I know

That's not the way I used to think

Gun shells put my lonesome love at bail

Wonder how I'm breathing

I can tell we both had better sail

From a future that we know is self defeating

Lips held like a sunken hallow bell

That used to ring so clearly

I can tell that your scared of where you fell

But the past can be so deceiving
