Van Gogh may have been insane when he painted Starry Starry Night All I know is blue will never be so true again And it's a slow motion ocean wavin' back at me The chains around my momma's neck was the way she used to set me free I had to become a (mother/father) to know how precious I should have been I had to become a lover to understand where love begins Yesterday is as far away as ten thousand years If I live to see tomorrow will I wake to find you here Everybody's all dressed up and got someplace to go Too fast to see the ocean waving back so slow And it's a slow motion ocean wavin' back at me The chains around my momma's neck was the way she used to set me free I had to become a (mother/father) to know how precious I should have been I had to become a lover to understand where love begins I was a sailing arrow, (boy/girl) you were just afraid I sailed right past you and your hand it stayed Deep inside your pocket safe and all alone You don't mind shedding blood as long as it's not your own And it's a slow motion ocean wavin' back at me The chains around my momma's neck was the way she used to set me free I had to become a (mother/father) to know how precious I should have been I had to become a lover to understand where love begins |
