Playin' Along '99

Something broke the agony that keeps on playing me I want to see a through-line through And take things seriously And do the same things Make right my actions and ways On the dawn of each parting day I'm holding out hope that the page Won't hold a joke in the aftermath The avalanche bright I don't disagree but in my mind I fight Sometimes I only see a spiral tight Just playin' along Playin' along Playin' along Just playin' along Playin' along Playin' along Playin' along I'm playin' along Playin' along Playin' along Just playin' along Playin' along Playin' along The rise and fall, entreaty spelling through Blue-violet ends what crimson started This autumn is born inside Within the emerald spring tide But why let second thoughts Speak louder than the firsthand There is more at stake In a brave mistake I've used false words to express Starlight anguish poured in, folded into duress The flashing facet that was lost was sunniness The fire of prisms glimpsed was lost sunniness Just playin' along Playin' along Playin' along Just playin' along Playin' along Playin' along Playin' along I'm playin' along Playin' along Playin' along Just playin' along Playin' along Playin' along
