Heaven Pie

One thing you'll never hear me say

One claim I surely will never stake

"I am perfect, flawless, infallible

incapable of making a mistake"

I wear no powder wig, I don't sit and judge from high

I do not wish you were more like I

It's more the opposite in fact

the beauty you nakedly bare is bold

The truth you let speak for itself and

the grace in your face is as good as gold

So maybe you have secrets or closets full of bones

Your past is cast with ghosts who wail and moan

You tried a few things the got to moving on

You sat and listened and skipped to a new song

You had some fun, and baby, there's no shame in that

'Cuz when its done no maybe games, no comin' back

So don't take me for no cop, I got no jurisdiction

I made my choices, I took my steps with conviction

I'm walking contradiction, I never made much sense

I've won and lost it all now only pockets full of cents

I been around, I've seen some things, I've pat a bunch of backs

I looked around and took some notes I gathered up the facts

And, dammit, don't you know I still don't know a thing

Haven't figured out a lick

Sometimes I sit alone and stew in my thoughts

Listening to cuckoo cuckoo clocks tick

I've been shattered in two, then broken in four

Been smashed and mashed unrecognizable across the floor

There's been plenty of glue and tons of to-do

Lots more than cosmetic work to get me to the point

Where I can stand in front of you

And say, "Baby, you're the one! My evening star, my morning Sun!

The marrow in my bones, the blood in veins!

You're the first and last thing that bounces through my brains!"

You're the cool wind that carries life across my face

With you I know that home could be any place

As long as we're together

So if you can ride with a jealous guy, then honey I'm your man

If you could use someone to have some fun I'll try everything I can

Now, let me see you smile..

Who loves ya...
