And the reason we laugh is for one day well cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is cause one day we'll steal
here's a song for a world that can't feel.

She was once a good friend of mine
we would gather up stones & we'd laugh all the time
she'd paint pictures & maps of the stars & her eyes
would fill up the night
She was once a lover of mine
we would sit in her garden & drink all her wine
blow out candles & talk about god in the dark
then we'd sleep in the yard

And the reason we laugh is for one day well cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is cause one day we'll steal
here's a song for a world that can't feel.

Winter came & it carried no torch
it just fogged up the windows & stood on the porch
The flower she planted is hiding it's face as it bends
and dies in the wind
And the lantern lit up our room
as we drew all the tarots & cast all the runes
then she'd take down her hair & she'd lay in my arms
cause that's where she belonged

And the reason we laugh is for one day well cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is cause one day we'll steal
here's a song for a world that can't feel.

She was once a soul mate of mine
'till she packed up her clothing, her books & her wine
she wrote me a note that said
"Oh, honey don't cry, but I can't say goodbyes"
And the sun went down early that day as the stars
came out twinkling like demons at play
and tears fill my eyes when I think of the words you can't say Like "Why did you go away?"

And the reason we laugh is for one day well cry
Like the reason we live is for one day we'll die
And the reason we give is cause one day we'll steal
here's a song for a world that can't feel.
