Life in a Nutshell

from The Visit by Bill White

/

lyrics

“i am 43 years old
and older than my years.
i have not taken care of myself
ive been crawling through the vale of tears

all ive done is raise some children
and work some crappy jobs
ive lived in one lousy city
and married five lazy slobs"

"do you forget the war in heaven?
a war that goes on still
we were thrown into the canyon
when we tried to take the hill

do you forget the scars of angels ?
who leapt into molten seas,
bartering wings for shadows
just to rescue you and me

take the space of separation
call it centuries
the damage that was done by time
hurts us less than eternity"

repeat first two verses
