No Plan

For starts What a waste to say the heart could feel apart Or feel complete, baby Why would you make out of words A cage for your own bird? When it sings so sweet The screaming, heaving fuckery of the world? Why would you offer her name To the same old tired pain? When all things come from nothin' And, honey, if nothing's gained My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again Let it hurl, let the awful song be heard Blue bird, I know your beat, baby But your secret is safe with me 'Cause if secrets were like seeds Keep my body from the fire Hire a gardener for my grave Your secret is safe with me And if secrets were like seeds When I'm lying under marble Marvel at flowers you'll have made My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand There's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the pain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again My heart is thrilled by the still of your hand It's how I know now that you understand How big the hourglass, how deep the sand I shouldn't hope to know, but here I stand There's no plan, there's no race to be run The harder the rain, honey, the sweeter the sun There's no plan, there's no kingdom to come I'll be your man if you got love to get done Sit in and watch the sunlight fade Honey, enjoy, it's gettin' late There's no plan, there's no hand on the rein As Mack explained, there will be darkness again
