delusions
I met Eden beside the river
She crept over the bridge towards my side
Her voice in a hushed whisper
She said
"Jessie's died"
I smacked her on the arm
And told her not to joke
But a second passed and her eyes
Told me it was true
I wailed for a while
My sister, dead and gone
Eden held me on her shoulder
While I cried curses at God
And I hoped
It was all a prank
But Eden uttered nothing
She was resolute
She casted her eyes to the skies above
Where the black cockatoos flew
Why, oh why
Sweet angel Gabriel
Would you take her from me
Why, oh why
Can't everything just be well
Back down on Batten Street
Eden held her breath
While I wiped the snot on my sleeve
I never thought this mascara
Would make my eyes sting
Eden confessed she had something to say
I said
"You've said enough
But I suppose say it now
Finish your tragic truth
Or forever hold your vow"
She said
"I had loved Jessie"
Confusions overwhelmed every inch of my soul
My dearest companion, telling me now
That she loved my sister
Not just as a friend
And only speaking now
Because Jessie is dead
Why, oh why
Sweet angel Gabriel
Would you take her from me
Why, oh why
Can't everything just be well
Back down on Batten Street
Sometimes God takes a soul
And He leaves the rest
To find their inner delusions
And to find rest
And I know
That's what He did today
Why, oh why
Sweet angel Gabriel
Would you take her from me
Why, oh why
Can't everything just be well
Back down on Batten Street
Why, oh why
Sweet angel Gabriel
Would you take her from me
Why, oh why
Can't everything just be well
Back down on Batten Street
She crept over the bridge towards my side
Her voice in a hushed whisper
She said
"Jessie's died"
I smacked her on the arm
And told her not to joke
But a second passed and her eyes
Told me it was true
I wailed for a while
My sister, dead and gone
Eden held me on her shoulder
While I cried curses at God
And I hoped
It was all a prank
But Eden uttered nothing
She was resolute
She casted her eyes to the skies above
Where the black cockatoos flew
Why, oh why
Sweet angel Gabriel
Would you take her from me
Why, oh why
Can't everything just be well
Back down on Batten Street
Eden held her breath
While I wiped the snot on my sleeve

Why, oh why
Can't everything just be well
Back down on Batten Street
