about

Another recent composition in sort of a twisted blues mode. Yet another happy little song about death and dying.

lyrics

Don't Be Sorry

The Badlands and the Yellowstone
Montana in the Eastern zone
A catfish in the bathtub
A piano in my bones

The dying wasn't real to me
Was too young to know life would be
So very temporary
Like the blossoms on a tree

Don't be sorry
Dry your eyes
Don't be sorry
Everybody cries
It's alright

A planet rolls beneath my feet
I stumble as it turns to meet
A massive stellar fireball
Bringing light and life and heat

A future that has come to be
A nightmare somehow shown to me
That morning as a warning
Fifty Summers gone to sea

Don't be sorry
Dry your eyes
Don't be sorry
Everybody tries

The Badlands and the Yellowstone
Montana in the Eastern zone
A catfish in the bathtub
A piano in my bones

When dying gets around to me
It's alright, what will be will be
So very temporary
Like the fruit under the tree

It's alright
Don't be sorry
Dry your eyes
Don't be sorry
Everybody dies
