Liza

Dear Liza, it happened again
Had life by the handles, was ready to begin
And now it's seepin' out the side
I'm over tested over tried
Feeling like givin' in
It always seems to happen this way
I get ready to go and something comes along and
Makes me stay
Dear Liza, do you realize that there's a hole?

Dear Henry, I know that it hurts
You do all you can to fix it, and it only gets worse
And now you're runnin' out of straws
Babe let's take another pause and make it work
We'll cut it up a different way
Break it into pieces, give you what you need to
Face today
Sometimes ya, cut it down to size to face the whole

Dear Liza, I hear that you care
But I've walked like this for too long, with too much to bear
And now the pace has gotta lull
Knife's tired and it's dull
Ready to rust somewhere
It's better if I give in this way
I'm ready to go and finish my song
Because I can not stay
Dear Liza, don't think that it'll rise this sinking stone

Dear Henry, you stand where i've been
And I see a beginning where you see an end
So if you'll let me help you start
Babe we'll soften up your heart
And let new life in
We'll wash away the tears and the rust
Together we are strong, help you move along
If you can trust
Sometimes ya, gotta realize you're not alone
