When you realize that days are short and life's too long to hold a fork
When you realize what you have done can't be sunk into oblivion
When you realize that you shiver like a leaf on a tree
When you realize you've made your bed and lying in it without a shred
When you see that there's no shelter in the things you can't outrun
When you see that you are falling
It is easier to be good
When you realize you're not alone and nothing is further than your own
When you realize that you are in trouble and you live in a bubble
When you realize you're in deep water turning one way or the other
When you realize that you're not smarter and you're not Charlie Parker
When you see that there's no shelter in the things you can't outrun
When you see that you are falling
Come along baby, take a breath in the evening
Honey, take a yawn, come together in the morning
Through the break of dawn
Come along baby, ride with me
In the saddle, honey, you are free
Sing this song from the middle of eternity
Come along baby, take a breath in the evening
Honey, take a yawn, come together in the morning
Through the break of dawn
Come along baby, ride with me
In the saddle, honey, you are free
Sing this song from the middle of eternity
When you see that we're together, your bubble will burst
You're naked and drifting
When you see that there's no shelter in the things you can't outrun
You see that you are falling
It is easier to be good
When you realize that days are short and life's too long to hold a fork
When you realize what you have done can be sunk into oblivion
When you realize that you shiver like a leaf on a tree
When you realize you've made your bed and lied in it without a shred
When you see that there's no shelter in the things you can't outrun
When you see that you are falling
It is easier
To be good
