Bitter Beauty (Collett Jason)

All the flowers fade And all the star?s pale As this bitter beauty Grabs you by the tail How long will you hesitate? Half way up the trail Yes, it's dark in the trees And some wounds never heal And you're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time All the gun-for-hire poets Who try to sing so loud Just to drown out the roar As the bombs hit the ground And the band is whistling Dixie For its sentimental sake Yeah, that's the sound and the fury Of this new dark day And you're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time For the first time All the penny wishes And the trickle down schemes And the Cracker Jack box prizes Splitting at the seams And you're standing in the doorway With your hair all in a mess You in all your glory Wondering what comes next And you're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time And you're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time And you're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time You're dreamin' With eyes wide open Your heart has spoken For the first time And you're dreamin'
