The Evening of My Best Day Lyrics
They all smile; they shake your hand
They want to know your name
You sit in your mother’s room
Look through the windowpane
They know you’re not watching
They talk behind your back
They laugh about the loneliness
Of your awkward attack
Attack them in the fences
Attack them in the schoolyard
And wipe your sleeve across your head
When the cannons fire
Cannon fire
Someday, many years from here
Where no one else can see
You’ll dig up the things they buried
And finally set them free
Finally set them free
Now free them from the schoolyard
Free them from the lunch-tray edge
Free them from the cannons
Inside your head
I don’t know why
For some people,
An ordinary day
Just rises up before them and
It sweeps the past away
It’s a good life
From now on
When I look back at you
A good life
Look ahead: the sky is almost blue
