So Long - Steady Holiday

You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the hurt

Beyond the tears, beyond the courtesy of elementary melodies

And chord progressions much like these

To love and be loved, who’d have thought it’d be so mysterious?

It would be painful without bruises and subject to who chooses

To pull the plug and hope that no one sinks

You deserve a song so long, it plays beyond the fade

Beyond the place where all our memories repeat into eternity

Preserving them so bittersweet, for better or worse

What’s the harm in a little disillusion?

A little rosy hue and a drink to see it through

To separate my logic from my ways

I can and I will, and I can and I will move on

And you can and you will, and you can and you will move on

You deserve a song so long and crafted with hands of love and capability

So I’ll retire, I’ll keep it brief

Admiring you lovingly

So long, so long, so long
