Lyrics
FIFTH Of JULY
I couldn?t be gladder now.
I couldn?t be sadder now.
I shouldn?t be holding on.
When I should be moving on.
Life?s a race.
You?ve got to keep at such a pace.
I see your face I want to stop and trace the image of you,
which lingers on, with lace like fingers on
On the fourth of July.
With Rockets exploding in the Sky.
I try not to think of what?s to come.
It only makes me lonesome.
Cuz on the Fifth of July I cry as
the smoke and dust from the night before
starts landing in my eye.
Its not really why I cry.
On the fifth of July I cry.
Everything is so far back in the past and
I feel the past cast its web over my head,
I should?ve stayed in bed and waited for the sun
but instead I rose and came undone
People fall apart like jig-saw puzzles
if I new a Ruppunzzel I would open up her nozzle and
let her curls swim swirls throwing golden thread over my shoulders
sewing me back together.
It would make me feel much Better...
I couldn?t be gladder now.
I couldn?t be sadder now.
I shouldn?t be holding on.
When I should be moving on.
On the Fifth of July I Cry
