My Whole Life
This song is my whole life
A sheath concealed by its knife
A melody made for a wordless wife
I’ve been playing it now for so long
Playing it right, but singing it wrong
Telegraphing love long gone
Picking and playing to an empty room
Wordless wisdom from a brideless groom
Folded in occupied tomb
Now I can see
What hindsight can afford me
Light was darkness all around
Treasure lost and found
This song is my whole life
Ease concealed by strife
A melody made for unfaithful wife
I’ve been saying it now for so long
Singing the same truthful song
Sacrifice to cover what’s wrong
Picking and playing your personal tune
Words of wisdom from a brideless groom
Unfolding in unoccupied tomb
Now I can see
What foresight can afford me
The light was might all around
Treasure found unbound
This song is my whole life
