Sapling (Live)

I remember way back when

I felt only lonely

Like nothing could complete me

No promise of a rising sun

Illuminating everyone

The very thought defeated

My life with a blinding light

Must be what it's like when worlds collide

Especially when he sees her

Pretty soon he'll tease her

I was on the road so long

My labored love bore only songs

And not one of them a keeper

But if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bar, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever and on

Is still not long enough

Still not long enough

The look of fear was in your eyes

And I could see myself as a child

Such a devastating feeling

I wished I could go back in time

But all I could do was apologize

And right then your eyes were healing

Healing

Oh, if I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bar, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever and on

Is still not long enough

Still not long enough

Well, I've been king, but I wanna be able

Been a drunken fool, but I wanted to be stable

And after laying every one of my cards out on the table

Hope it's not too late for us to find a way through

If I woke in the morning to find you were gone

I know I'd try and find the will to be strong

But am I strong enough?

Am I strong enough?

I once built a bar, I could build you a home

Together forever, but forever and on

Is still not long enough

No, still not long enough

I went looking inside myself for a home

Find only a sapling in search of a gnome
