Bryan John Appleby - Honey Jars

 

I pick up a broken comb
Run it through my thin grey hair
Though i don?t have any plans tonight
I?m not going anywhere
Well, i should?ve seen this coming
Don?t know why i?m surprised
Every vessel on its way down
Takes with it the captain?s life

Though i?m blind, my dear, i see
The parade goes on without me
My body aches, my mind, it weeps
For you, for you

Tonight i?m locked outside my building
Guess i must have lost the keys
So i?ll sit here on the sidewalk
Let the snow fall on my knees
And if i made it to a payphone
I don?t know who i would call
So for now i close my eyes and rest
My crooked back against the wall

I read that old men will see visions
Young men will follow dreams
I believed it when i read it
I see your face in everything
Now your honey jars are frozen
In the window your books have browned
And there?s too much room inside our bed
I think i?ll join you in the ground

Though i?m blind, my dear, i see
Let the chorus sing without me
My body breaks, my mind it sleeps
With you
