lyrics

I’ve got a basket of flowers and a bucket of tears
And not a single dollar to buy me a beer
I wrote it down yesterday and said it all year
I can’t get away from my fears

Well an eagle flies high in the sky up above
But he’s as out of reach as what I’ve been dreaming of
Why won’t you give to me a little of your love
I want to be the one you dream sweet things of

My body is aching and my heart it feels the same
And the saddest thing of all
is that I’m the one to blame
There’s nobody else, in no one else’s name
I’m alone all alone in this way

The moon hangs in the sky
a crooked smile cocked to one side
And as I travel the road ahead
I leave the nasty things you said
Because my heart is marked
with an arrow and a dart
And I’m doing all I can, not to fall apart
