Can't stand up and I can't stand down.
Can't go forward, I'm all alone.
And it's cold.
Hands ice chilly and I am lonely,
Coldness you're my one and only.
So hold me, 'cause here we go.
Leaves late fallen still rustle.
Stars still twinkle, so I'm told.
Bleak skies cannot stop their music,
Nor the cold.
Moods creep slowly on the snow,
Deepening thoughts dark in the cold.
(one steps forward to step back)
(one step forward, two steps back)
Blood still flowing though I am lonely.
Trees still growing though it's so cold.
Dark clouds cover the mad sky moving.
Stars still twinkle, but I don't know—
For the folly of petty things, all the simpleness in life and the joy it brings.
For the folly of petty things, when the simple things in life are—
All you need.
So, here we go.
(four ways to go one way back)
(two steps forward, one step back)
For the folly of pretty things, when the simple things in life are all you need.
For the folly of petty things, when the simple things in life are—
All you need.
