Elliot Valentine Lee, Mel Hornyak - Don't Die Wondering
In a room without a lock
In a house but not a home
Where the landlord doesn’t knock
Where the land is not our own
How can we spend all our years
Jumping at each creak and sigh?
There's a place with fewer fears
And that bright montana sky
Yes, nowhere is safe
Why not risk it there?
One bed all our own
One cat, one big chair
If i can’t kiss you here
Then just tell me where
Darling, don't die wondering
I came here for my piece of land
To own the products of my sweat
But all i own is your hand;
That is all i need to get
Don’t see this as a season
I see the middle and the end
Don’t surrender without reason
It is our life to defend
Yes, we are not safe
But we can’t help but try
Picture windows with curtains
See bociany in the sky
And if we must stay
Then just tell me why
Darling, don't die wondering
I used to be scared to get older
No wife and no children, alone
My heart and my hearth would get colder
No fat between winter and bone
But i would like to be a man
Weathered and beaten
No youth and no plan
Whose days you would sweeten
Like tea
Jozef/hao
In a room above a shop
Four thin walls, one solid door
Where the nosy people stop
We won’t listen anymore
For the jingle of the keys
And the closing of the gate
For the calling of the crows
When we’ve woken up too late
And what almost made up
For the safety we lack
Hao
Darling..
Jozef
Darling...
We can always come back
