Midas Curse

Long time coming
Came along and went
Castles made of memories
On the shores of my regret
Said goodbye forever
More than I can stand
But forever is a moment
When the ocean steals the sand

All I'd ever wanted
Was right within my grip
But I cling too tight when the feelings right
And I squeeze the life from it

I'd rather die tomorrow
With me as your man
Than have to face a life of sorrow
Without your tender loving hands a
And I'd build you a mountain
With the hearts I've turned to stone
Until you looked and froze in time
I'd never been afraid to die alone

Wrong time's coming
I can feel it in my bones
Every step is another mile
To a place that's dark and cold
I said goodbye forever
More than I can stand
But forever is a moment
When the ocean steals the sand

If I can just get high enough
To carry all my pain
I'd drop it down from the tallest cloud and drown you with the rain

And I'd give my life tomorrow
I feel without your healing hands and I'd carve you a valley
With my hands into the stone
But I'd still be sad and fighting mad
as to why the hell I'm dying all alone

I was raised an honest man
Treat your love like a poker hand
Wear your heart like a tattoo sleeve
Forever stains from forever deeds

What I touch it turns to gold but gold ain't worth the weight it holds
And there ain't a place for me on earth
If I can't shake this Midas Curse

I'd rather die in the morning
Like my grandfather died
With the love of a woman
And his eyes filled with pride
Than to live like my mother did
Regret and shame inside
But I can feel her love forever
All around me in the sky and I'd
Give her an ocean and fill it up with joy
Because I never had to wonder
If she'd do the same for her baby boy
