He Laid His 97's Neatly By The Door

The company

I keep so quiet

Beneath deep sleep

Some time ago

Do-do (Do-do)

(Do-do, do-do)

You left your shoes

Laid out so neatly

While I strayed away

From life completely

Will you hate me if I don't

Send the messages I wrote?

All the times left unresolved

What if I can't keep control again?

He was a thousand years old, and he took to the mountains

To see what no man had ever seen

And what he saw was

Bright streaks of light

Sprawled out across the water

Coated in sun

Your eyes seemed older

Will you hate me if I don't

Send the messages I wrote?

All the times left unresolved

What if I can't keep control?

Will you hate me if I don't

Send the messages I wrote?

All the times left unresolved

What if I can't keep control again?

He was creeping and crawling up the stairs, step by step by step

Each step more painful than the last

What was he thinking?

He was a man of wisdom, love, and compassion

But one final step he would never forget
