Youth passes from heaven to hell and back again, as death takes each, stop and be a member of the play

Daddy where do the words go when we live past our time
Daddy will you pray for my soul
Daddy where does time go
Daddy I will love you forever

Silver letters play in mind trips
Lips hunger
Life spreads
Dead is dead
Cry babe cry
Lie lie
Sleep
Weep
As we rock in sweet night pride
Drive hard from Texas home
Life a practice
Has been
Bend now
Shell stands
Face to wall
Call her
Click
Just a bottle
Breaks sounds
Lay baby lay
Pray child pray
Lullaby tried
Rock my soul
So little time
Watch the white line go
Hard left slam
Floor coming up
Lover stand in wait
Time warms us
As the candle burns
Learn better
Sleep sheep
Keep my soul
Next to peanuts
Under a cloth folded
Pillow under head stars
Cars burn my heart clean
Just dream son
Dream a dram
A better life
From grave to save
Just like him
Footsteps in the sand

Stars melt cold hearts as trouble mixes faith and sound
As the good old boy steps down from the train
Wipes the eyes of his youngest
Lives past the dream
Buries the dram
Saves one for each eye
And one for the tongue trip
