How I lost my boy

How I lost my boy

How I lost my boy

How I lost my boy

The king in I died

He kept floating past my eyes

And singing his songs

Life was good now death’s all wrong

Cause you can’t feel a thing

No heart flutters in late spring

You just drift and pray

For sun kissed golden days

And I can’t hold what’s in my hand

Don’t do any good to say this isn’t what I planned

And little kids sliding down the steel park slide

Little kids can’t play with things that have died

Sometimes all I want is one favorite song

And two to three minutes don’t seem that long

And where’s my mom, I wanna hold her tight

She’s so far away from crowded nights

I’m going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo

Well I’m going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo

Where I’m going

I said please stay

You can see me, don’t go away

I can’t see the landscape

Please describe it’s amaranthine haze

It’s odd where I am They’re people, you’re not like them

They just look away

For rain-quenched golden days

My tears quench five feet of lawn

And I just creep I cannot yawn

And people gonna come and people gonna cry

He just woke and dreamt and ate and died

Don’t try to erase what you have done

Put your fingers in a mouth, and kiss it if it wants

And where’s my friend, I wanna hold him tight

He’s so far away from mountain lights

I’m going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo

Well I’m going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo

Where I’m going

And I can’t hold what’s in my hand

Don’t do any good to say this isn’t what I planned

And little kids sliding down the steel park slide

Little kids can’t play with things that have died

Sometimes all I want is one favorite song

And two to three minutes doesn’t seem that long

And where’s my mom, I wanna hold her tight

She’s so far away from crowded nights

I’m going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo

Well I’m going cuckoo-ookoo-ookoo

Where I’m going
