In a Sky of Blue

I'm going to take such good care of you
We're going to see our lives all the way through
I actually believed what you said too
Before it all vaporized in a sky of blue,

The aftermath just seems to roll on
Unable to sleep until the light of dawn
My faith in mankind just about gone
Broken promises like hearing crickets on the lawn,

There seems to be a message here
Don't know if it appears quite clear
You can't live your life in fear
But when you lose everything that's so dear,

Wondering what ship of fools I'm on
I think destiny's curtains are drawn
Trying so hard not to live as a pawn
Lost a wife to a man named John,

Life just keeps rolling on and on
Wondering what new plague will be spawned
One more hearse that will be horse drawn
Just another contradictory paragon,

Those slings and arrows that I know
Inviting me to my own sorrow
Will this be the ultimate end of the show?
It seems there's nowhere else to go,

Life began as a mystery no previous history
Like baby turtles rushing to the sea
I was always struggling to be free
But I ended up defeated now on bended knee,

All those instructors who filled you in
Boy, don't you let adversity win
You can always rely upon next of kin
All those lies you hear rolling in like sin,

Used to be able to adapt and overcome
I was the seventh son of a seventh son
But, with all those lies I came undone
My mistakes weigh upon me like a ton,

I'm going to take such good care of you
We're going to see our lives all the way through
I actually believed what you said too
Before it all vaporized in a sky of blue.
