On a park bench sat a crimson beating heart And behind him the girls played double dutch in the park The sun began to burn his snow white skin I guess you're headin' somewhere or endin' up somewhere. Storm clouds began to form in his head And crisscrossed his mind like a restless angry ocean And the howling of hardship and heartache Kneeled and grinned in his face He stood there in his shoes unable to move I drove all night here to tell you I love you And here lies my green eyes Rolled back in my head, but they're alive And all these words can all get spoken Well I know we tried and you're forgiven You're forgiven He made his way down the boulevard Near the 99 cent stores and the garbage in the yards And he began to sing About the crickets and the backroads where we used to play I guess you're either headin' somewhere or endin' up somewhere Cause I tried the bible, I tried the bottle, I Tried the needle, I tried to love people And in the end there ain't nothin' to say And in the end there ain't nothin' you can say anyway And I stand here in my shoes, unable to move My hat in my hands, at the bottom of the ocean. And here lies my green eyes Rolled back in my head but they're alive And all the words can all get spoken Well I know we tried and you're forgiven And here lies my green eyes Rolled back in my head but they're alive And all the words can all get spoken Well I know we tried and you're forgiven You're forgiven
