lyrics

“At last he saw the first of dawn, like a light faintly perceived ‘round a corner at the far end of an unknown burrow; and in the same moment a yellow-hammer sang.” (Richard Adams, Watership Down. Ch. 11)

I didn't think it through, I tried to make a fool out of life.
No, you don’t have to ask, I tried to make a pass at my wife.
All of the clothing I stripped: then where is the skip in my heart?
Another wasted day of news and video games in the dark.

Well, we could have it out, or we could make a mountain of this.
Well, I won’t get it right, but I just think it might be a risk worth taking on, worth getting wrong, worth the fight.
I can’t see the beast sneaking up on me in the night but it’s trying so far.

And I’m trying, but it’s hard.
