Juliet

I was a vagabond, She a beauty queen
Man, the best damn thing I'd ever seen
Ain't it easy to call cards at 17
Those days I was lost in dreary visions
Thinking she would be my bride
But when I opened up my eyes
She wasn't mine, she wasn't mine, she wasn't mine

My Juliet seems to be the only thing I'll never find all of my days
For I have read the books, and cast the spells, and wrote the words
In oh so many ways
So many ways
So many ways

Well, self-decided was a man, 25 still in my hands
When I saw her dancing square across the water
Wasn't beauty caught my eye, but fate I did decide
For I had told myself our love would last forever
Well forever came, I could not tell her that

My Juliet seems to be the only thing I'll never find all of my days
For I have read the books, and cast the spells
And wrote the words in oh so many ways
Maybe I'm governed without reason
But giving up just seems like treason in my old age
So forever I'll be searching for my sun, my moon, my Juliet, my grave

Now here at the end, loneliness my only friend
My thoughts drift to Juliet more than ever
They say she's out there in a dream, blessing some tall balcony
She is out of reach, still as beautiful as ever

My Juliet seems to be the only thing I'll never find all of my days
For I have read the books, and cast the spells, and wrote the words
In oh so many ways, so many ways, so many ways
