It's life's illusions that I recall, I really don't know life at all
Fear is like the wilderland - Stepping stones or sinking sand
Everyone I know has attention deficit, and they say it with great pride. It's a bad time to be right.
I wish I had a river I could skate away on?
They paved paradise and put up a parkin lot With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you got till it's gone
When I think of your kisses my mind see-saws.
Oh, the jealousy, the greed is the unraveling. It's the unraveling and it undoes all the joy that could be. .
Love is a very hard feeling to keep alive. It's a very fragile plant.
