Serious Wreckage - Steve Walsh

You don’t understand

So let me be fair

I was drivin' in my car and

Suddenly a-a child was standin' there

It was dark on that street

But I can still see his face

And if I could right now

I’d surely take his place

So don’t tell me it’s alright

Don’t tell me it’s gonna be fine

A child is gone away

But he lives on inside my mind

Serious wreckage

Makin' my head swoon

Serious wreckage

Brown bag on the midnight moon

Serious wreckage

Wet, wet, bloody wet

One drink to remember

One more to forget that serious wreckage

He coulda changed the world

But look what he got

He coulda been everything

Everything that I am not

So I take flowers to the funeral

But I’ve forgotten how to grieve

And I struggle every night

With what to believe

Do you see, can you see his face

Serious wreckage

Makin' my head swoon

Serious wreckage

Brown bag on the midnight moon

Serious wreckage

Wet, wet, bloody wet

One drink to remember

One more to forget that serious wreckage

Serious wreckage

Makin' my head swoon

Serious wreckage

Brown bag on the midnight moon

Serious wreckage

Wet, wet, bloody wet

One drink to remember

One more to forget that serious wreckage

And the walking wounded carry their innocent son

With a heavy heart they bury their anger

I can stay sober one more day, yeah

And the walking wounded carry their innocent son

With a heavy heart the walking wounded celebrate his sojourn with others

If I take a chance and walk with them

I can stay sober one more day, yeah

So don’t tell me it’s alright

No, don’t tell me it’s gonna be fine

A child that left this world

Is living on inside my mind (Inside my mind)

(Ooh ooh, ooh ooh)
