Folly After Death Lyrics by Elway

The Best Of All Possible Worlds

0

I recoil at every detail
Recounting all the sighs I’ve exhaled
I piece together the tale
In the tidelines of the ships that set sail
With notes tucked into pockets
Under wipers, between sheets or bike spokes
And every couplet I wrote
The ephemera of past lives, plastic trinkets, artifacts that I stole
To feed the candle I hold
I held my brеath like folly chasing after death
Until thе only thing that’s left to do was run
I bit my tongue until my mouth was full of blood
Til everything and everyone I knew was gone
Now Denver in winter dreams in a dull metallic blue
It blacks out the bravery I am forever overdue
But if even just one word of this barstool prophecy rings true
I’d like to watch the lights go out with you
I’d believe you if you said, "We were already dead,"
There was no hope of rescue coming through
I can purge my heavy head of the specters in my bed
But the only one I dream about is you
Now Denver in winter dreams in a dull metallic blue
It blacks out the honesty you were always overdue
But if even just one word of this barstool prophecy rings true
I’d like to watch the lights go out with you
