Fifty-Five Cardinals

When I was young, my mind would always wander away

Yes, I believe so--

Hey everybody when my daddy died
He had a sad sad story written in his eyes
Hey everybody when you walk the walk
You cannot measure out your life to the tick of a clock

I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum
I wanna walk to the beat of my own drum

[modern_truths]

You know I've laughed and you know I've cried
And I've felt things I have left deep inside
And yet through that- my smiles and tears
You have been there all along

Sometimes we left our blood in the night
And well, I'd lie if I said we don't fight
But then through desperate smiles and tears
We learn just where we were strong

[crete_goddess]

I hear the sound of good, solid judgment
Whenever you talk;
Yet there's the bold, brave spring of the tiger
That quickens your walk.
Oh, I believe in you.
I believe in you.

And when my faith in my fellow man
All but falls apart,
I've but to feel your hand grasping mine
And I take heart; I take heart

To see the cool, clear
Eyes of a seeker of wisdom and truth;
Yet, with the slam-bang tang
Reminiscent of gin and vermouth.
Oh, I believe in you.
I believe in you.

So don't you dare forget that we were here
Arguing over nothing at all
If I, could I'd tell you 'no fear'
But then there wouldn't be me

Won't you see me, can't you hear me?
I will be here right beside you

And when the time comes for me to move on
And though I want to stay where I belong
Just know we had our smiles and tears
And I'll be there when I'm gone

[crete_goddess]

Although sometimes things may not turn out right
I'll be right here, you don't have to hide
Whatever you feel inside we'll make it through,
just me and you
We'll share the laughter
And you know we'll also share the tears
And when times are bad
just know that I'll always be here...
just remember -

When it's time to cry we can cry together
Know that I'll be with you,
With you through whatever
When the times get rough
Know that I will be right by your side
I'll be right by your side

[modern_truths]

So don't you dare forget that we were here
Arguing 'bout nothing I could see
Memories will come back to me
As if they were just formed
And though my heartstrings fly to your hands
Don't you think it's time for me to go?
Memories will come back to me
As if they were only yesterday
Don't you think about all the things we used to do
'Cause we'll be there again
Don't worry 'bout our smiles and tears

I'll miss you...

Just know that I'll remember
Just know that I'll remember
Just know that I'll remember
you

[crete_goddess]

I'll remember you
When I've forgotten all the rest,
You to me were true,
You to me were the best.
When there is no more,
You cut to the core
Quicker than anyone I knew.
When I'm all alone
In the great unknown,
I'll remember you.

I'll remember you
At the end of the trail,
I had so much left to do,
I had so little time to fail.
There's some people that
You don't forget,
Even though you've only seen'm
One time or two.
When the roses fade
And I'm in the shade,
I'll remember you.

[modern_truths]

You know life can be simple
You know life is simple
Because the best thing in life is yet to come
Because the best is yet to come

...I feel silly now.

[crete_goddess]

Silly, Ichabod darling...there's no reason to be.
