See the cherry blossom blooming Me, myself and I in this room singing Even a mighty tree fell Only time will tell See the cherry blossom blooming Me, myself and I in this room singing Even a mighty tree fell Only time will tellI’ve been watching wind chimes turning around Outside my window See them move but I can’t hear a sound From outside my window I love you all-consumingly I don’t know what is you or me I wish I knew just how to be To make you love more easily Even a mighty tree fell Only time will tell
Now that I’ve got my own ballroom Now that all of my shoes have a shelf Now that the music’s without you I sit here and pity myself I painted the walls brighter than white Outside the fall has its own special light Though I’ve been longing for ages Just to sit as I do with my pen My drawings still lack motivation And I pity myself once again I still miss the sound of you playing chords Now that it’s quiet at least I hear my ownthoughts I need a lampshadeTake the brightness away I need a lampshadeTake the brightness away You know at the end of the dayIt’s just me and my ballroom
I’m out of typing paper For months I didn’t wash my clothes When I lie in my king-size bed I keep seeing the laundry grow I don’t enter the kitchen A vague memory keeps me away My piano grows dustlike every other surface There’s nothing much to say - except I’m stuck in this sad lonesome body And this feeling just won’t go away And this placethat I once called my residence Surely falls into decay I’ve been trying to turn off the TV But I can’t bear the silence I hear I bury myself in other people’s lives And it’s not so healthy I fear The phone has stopped ringing And I wonder if it has been shut down Most likely my friends have forgotten me Or despise this self-pitying clown I’m stuck in this sad lonesome bodyI’m watching myself fade away And this placethat I once called my residence Surely falls into decay
