[00:12.64]All the happy couples on their way to New Orleans
[00:17.22]Reminding me of when we got along
[00:22.42]They're only renting time and space
[00:25.46]To fill up with their dreams
[00:27.65]And dreams are what they'll have when they have gone
[00:33.62]How could it be that
[00:34.51]I was born without a clue to carry on
[00:38.50]And still it is the same now I am older
[00:44.13]Armed with just a will
[00:46.32]And then this love for singing songs
[00:49.45]And minding less and less if I am colder
[00:52.94]
[00:55.23]But I have this funny ache
[00:58.41]And it's burning in my chest
[01:00.95]And it spreads just like a fire inside my body
[01:06.98]Is it something God left out in my spirit or my flesh
[01:12.80]Would I be saved if I were brave and had a baby
[01:19.67]It was never clear what would come next
[01:22.34]But that's the risk and that's the test
[01:25.31]And you were the only one so far to follow
[01:32.68]And no one talks about
[01:34.18]When one might stop and need to rest
[01:36.83]Or how long you sit alone before you stop looking back
[01:43.10]It's like you're waiting for Godot
[01:45.89]And then you pick your sorry ass up off the street and
[01:50.52]Go...
[02:01.93]
[02:02.23]And what the hell is this?
[02:04.86]Who made this bloody mess?
[02:07.41]And someone always answers like a martyr
[02:13.68]Is it something you should know
[02:16.55]Did you never do your best
[02:19.04]Would you be saved if you were brave
[02:21.74]And just tried harder
[02:27.01]So now I ride the ought one thirtyfive to New Orleans
[02:32.79]I float a mile above life's toil and trouble
[02:39.26]A thousand lonely lifetimes
[02:41.73]I still wait and then go on
[02:45.27]A clown to entertain the happy couples
