"No Regrets Lyrics"
Sempiternal Past / Presence View Sepulchrality Lyrics
Oh, once again, I kneel before this altar Out in the moist chilly forest I proclaim The Autumn leaves that fell And those who still attach the trees The Breeze that blew my hair The one I've known through all these years... The songs I never forgot - A past that is now Lost....
Oh, once again, I kneel before this altar Out in the moist chilly forest I proclaim The Autumn leaves that fell And those who still attach the trees The Breeze that blew my hair The one I've known through all these years... The songs I never forgot - A past that is now Lost....
Lucy was 7 and wore a head of blue barettes
City born, into this world with no knowledge and no regrets
Had a piece of yellow chalk with which she'd draw upon the street
The many faces of the various locals that she would meet
There was joshua, age 10
Bully of the block
Who always took her milk money at the morning bus stop
There was Mrs. Crabtree, and her poodle
She always gave a wave and holler on her weekly trip down to the bingo
parlor
And she drew
Men, women, kids, sunsets, clouds
And she drew
Skyscrapers, fruit stands, cities, towns
Always said hello to passers-by
They'd ask her why she passed her time
Attachin lines to concrete
But she would only smile
Now all the other children living in or near her building
Ran around like tyrants, soaking up the open fire hydrants
They would say
"Hey little Lucy, wanna come jump double dutch?"
Lucy would pause, look, grin and say
"I'm busy, thank you much"
Simple minded brain for now you succumb Nothing changes your way This world insists to be the same based on our mistakes The flowers fade along the road Don't blindfold your eyes, so loneliness becomes the law of a senseless life Follow your steps and you will find The unknown ways are in your mind Need nothing else than just your pride to get there... [go!] Now we have to face another day You won't be alone This life
And believe it or not
She covered every last inch of the entire sidewalk,
And she stopped-
"Lucy, after all this, you're just giving in today??"
She said:
"I'm not giving in, I'm finished," and walked away
(Chorus: x2)

That's the speed of the seed
A B C
That's the speed of the need
You can dream a little dream
Or you can live a little dream
I'd rather live it
Cuz dreamers always chase
But never get it
Now Lucy was 37, and introverted somewhat
Basement apartment in the same building she grew up in
She traded in her blue barettes for long locks held up with a clip
Traded in her yellow chalk for charcoal sticks
And she drew
Little bobby who would come to sweep the porch
And she drew
The mailman, delivered everyday at 4
Lucy had very little contact with the folks outside her cubicle day
But she found it suitable, and she liked it that way
Koskaan ei pitis odottaa puolta tuntia kauempaa ja silti tll oon Vieruspydss tapellaan soitan ja se menee vastaajaan ja silti tll oon Mut ei se mitn m kestn mit vaan vaikka suuhuni pakkasella rautaa m osaan kielt ja unohtaa m osaan selitt ja tiet Ettei maailma lopu siihen jos et tuu se jatkaa vaan kierrostaan tynn surujaan ja vaikeena kest ja niin m toivon ett oisin joku muu ja jukeboksi soi ja m en mitn voi ja kohta valot
They would only see each other once or twice a week on purpose
They appreciated space and Rico was an artist too
So they'd connect on saturdays to share the pictures that they drew
(Look!)
Now every month or so, she'd get a knock upon the front door
Just one of the neighbors,
Actin nice, although she was a strange girl, really
Say, "Lucy, wanna join me for some lunch??"
Lucy would smile and say "I'm busy, thank you much"
And they would make a weird face the second the door shut
And run and tell their friends how truly crazy Lucy was
And lucy knew what people thought but didn't care
Cuz while they spread their rumors through the street
She'd paint another masterpiece
(Chorus x2)
Lucy was 87, upon her death bed
At the senior home, where she had previously checked in
Traded in the locks and clips for a head rest
Traded in the charcoal sticks for arthritis, it had to happen

Cuando Comenzamos A Nacer Lyrics
Cuando comenzamos a nacer , la mente empieza a comprender, que vos sos vos y tenes vida. Que poca cosa es la realidad, mejor seguir mejor so?ar, que lo que vale no es el dia; Pero el sol esta, no es de papel es de verdad. Tenes una boca para hablar, y comenzas a preguntar, y conoces a la mentira. Con tus piernas vas a caminar, pero te empiezan a encerrar, y ahi te quedas con tu rutina. Y que vas a hac
d she drew no more, just sat and watched the dawnCuando comenzamos a nacer , la mente empieza a comprender, que vos sos vos y tenes vida. Que poca cosa es la realidad, mejor seguir mejor so?ar, que lo que vale no es el dia; Pero el sol esta, no es de papel es de verdad. Tenes una boca para hablar, y comenzas a preguntar, y conoces a la mentira. Con tus piernas vas a caminar, pero te empiezan a encerrar, y ahi te quedas con tu rutina. Y que vas a hac
Had a television in the room that she'd never turned on
Lucy pinned up a life worth's of pictures on the wall
And sat and smiled, looked each one over, just to laugh at it all
No Rico, he had passed, 'bout 5 years back
So the visiting hours pulled in a big flock o' nothin
She'd never spoken once throughout the spanning of her life
Until the day she leaned forward, grinned and pulled the nurse aside
And she said:
"Look, I've never had a dream in my life
Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done
So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!"
Well!
The nurse jumped back,
She'd never heard Lucy even talk,
'Specially words like that
She walked over to the door, and pulled it closed behind
Then Lucy blew a kiss to each one of her pictures
And she died.
(Chorus x2)
