I woke in the dead of night
And heard the vastness of the snowfall outside
Slipped downstairs in my bare feet
Soon forgotten freezing
And poured a milk glass full
To wait out the tide
It's been a decade and one
Been a decade and one my friend
Decade and one
Since I've
As the white went down
I thought of the child upstairs
I thought of the god upstairs
That I couldn't believe
I thought of the chosen man
Asleep on his side of the bed
How green becomes wood in the family tree
Been a decade and one
Been a decade and one so soon
Decade and one
Since I stood so proud
And so unsure
Ebony glowing by the window there
As always
Fingers kissed the keys oh so tenderly
Cool ivory returned in kind
I thought of anger and adulation
And the taste of dreams realized
And the waste dreams realized leave behind
Decade and one
Decade and one
I said out loud
Decade and one
And I am here
And I am here still standing
Once when I was thirty-one I woke in the dead of night And heard the vastness of the snowfall outside Slipped downstairs in my bare feet Soon forgotten freezing And poured a milk glass full To wait out the tide It's been a decade and one Been a decade and one my friend Decade and one Since I've As the white went down I thought of the child upstairs I thought of the god upstairs That I couldn't believe I thought of the chosen man Asleep on his side of the bed How green becomes wood in the family tree Been a decade and one Been a decade and one so soon Decade and one Since I stood so proud And so unsure Ebony glowing by the window there As always Fingers kissed the keys oh so tenderly Cool ivory returned in kind I thought of anger and adulation And the taste of dreams realized And the waste dreams realized leave behind Decade and one Decade and one I said out loud Decade and one And I am here And I am here still standing Explain Request ×
