Like a dying beast the truck lies
Turned over on the driver's side
I want to ask if anyone survived
But the cops are there and they wave me by
Had it been easier to leave your side
I would have been here on this corner
When the truck drove by
I would have been here much faster
Had some snow angel not slowed my drive
And I say, how's a yellow line
enough protection in this world today?
One day you're alive
and then you take a long ride tomorrow
How can you know?
Just keep your eyes on the white line
And drive on blind
At seventeen she falls in love,
He promises he is drug free
One year later she gets a test,
And she finds out she's got HIV
You cannot call the end of time
Only how you'll live, not when you'll die
At twenty-eight, Olympic gold
He dies on the rink of heart failure
And I say, how's good health a promise,
enough protection in this world today?
You cannot worry too much,
put your seatbelt on and turn the radio up
How can you know? Just say
"I love you" twice and drive on blind
Focus on the small things
Not what you get but what you give
You cannot tell how you'll die,
Only how you'll live,
In the small things
First words, Daffodils in Spring
By the sweet and the tender, only how we'll live
