What is Jazz - Part One (Types of Jazz)

I fought against the bottle,

But I had to do it drunk

Took my diamond to the pawnshop

But that don't make it junk.

I know that I'm forgiven,

But I don't know how I know

I don't trust my inner feelings

Inner feelings come and go.

How come you called me here tonight?

How come you bother

With my heart at all?

You raise me up in grace,

Then you put me in a place,

Where I must fall.

Too late to fix another drink

The lights are going out

I'll listen to the darkness sing

I know what that's about.

I tried to love you my way,

But I couldn't make it hold.

So I closed the Book of Longing

And I do what I am told.

How come you called me here tonight?

How come you bother with my heart at all?

You raise me up in grace,

Then you put me in a place,

Where I must fall.

I fought against the bottle,

But I had to do it drunk

Took my diamond to the pawnshop

But that don't make it junk.
