Penelope Lyrics by Bradley Hathaway

FLESH EATER

2017

I passed that spot where we made love once out on the creek
Where you took off your blouse and walked around
And asked if anyone could see
My body is older but my memories are staying young
And all these women since
But you’re still the one

There’s a valley in a field where I like to go sometimes
I like to watch the sun, the birds
And smell the coming night
If you were here, I’d tell you all the things I never did before
I’d tell you all the things that I was sorry for
I’d tell you all of that and more

And so it goes
So it goes

Some cling to familiar and find comfort in what they know
Others go off into the distance
And get lost in the things they don’t
There’s a goodness in this world but there’s a badness in me
Try hard as I might, I like to feel the heat
But the Lord is on His throne and the incense is burning now
And the creatures are singing Holy Holy Holy
And the kings lay down their crowns

There’s truth and there’s lie
And all the things in between
That have me running standing still
And trapped inside a dream

And so it goes
So it goes
