lyrics

See how the chips fall where they may How my lips sink ships drift astray How I've missed you I've been a bad boy But seventeen it takes forever and me I was already on fire Dreaming with angels Remember every little thing You've got to remember every little thing My child there I know I'm coming to get you but oh I'm running so slow like a dream And the dawn it is quickening My friends they all thought I was the one who was lost I learned that irony from the start of my life Remember every little thing You've got to remember every little thing Trumpets peal I've realized all that's real And love is a white golden road I pave with my blood now I was a fraction at best A sad king's court jester or less I was a two-part invention She was my melody God she was my melody
