Mama, My Heart Is Achin'

Original

More dancing.

Come on then. Dancing. Dance, dance, dance and then turn around.

I'll sing with Annie.

Feel her dance in the words around me.

This world is bigger than we can see.

White feathers woven in our tapestry.

Death be days, they drip-feed my behavior.

Where sympathy runs thin, I'm out of line.

It all puts me out of sorts, and the wind blows black from the north, and it nearly knocks me off my feet again.

I fell in.

I fell hard.

One foot forward and two backwards in the dark.

Trying to take a chance on a broken heart.

Had a master plan, but how it failed to contain you.

Oh, I barely remember the way you feel in the back of my mind.

My, my heart is aching. My angel, you are fading.

If only we had more time.

I've had friends that have never been to a funeral.

Their life looks like a drawing I do of time.

A simplified version of a series of events.

A single line etching weeks gone by.

Time flies. We tell all these lies.

I'm not healthy, but I'm never gonna die.

Trying to take a chance on a broken heart.

Had a master plan, but how it failed to contain you.

Oh, I barely remember the way you feel in the back of my mind.

My, my heart is aching. My angel, you are fading.

If only we had more time.

But you're right here in my locket.

I'll steer myself in a lavender haze.

I'll resurrect the feeling.

Who knows I'm only dreaming?

For me, you will always be alive.

Oh, I barely remember the way you feel in the back of my mind.

My, my heart is aching. My angel, you're fading.

If only we had more time.

And I'll thank you.

Hallelujah.

As I watch you while you silently cry.

I tell you that I'm sorry. You tell me not to worry.

I'll see you in another life
