One Life

I was a lost boy
When you arrived
I was ‘The Catcher in the Rye’
Two muddy princes climbing castles
in the sky
Once was you and I
You were a jester falling out
of the frame
No inhibitions to the colours
you contained
We were young and bold
and beautiful
Once was you and I
Through the borders
To the sky
Jumping into rivers there’s no tree
too high
We were brothers
You and I
Huckleberry row me to the other side
Where I hope we’re born again
Just like hope is born again
But if there’s one life
Well that’s alright
Easy riders
Racing into the night
Burning down the back roads on our
dusty motorbikes
Talking big, playing music through
the night
Once was you and I
And we seized tomorrow
Started fires
Golden are the memories of those
happy hours
No horizons we denied
But Ziggy blew our minds out with
his suicide
And I hope he’s born again
Just like hope is born again
But if there’s one life
Well that’s alright as well
All the memories crystallize
Like the day you married
Tears were in your eyes
We’re always brothers
You and I
Oh, Huckleberry row me to the other side
Where I hope we’re born again
Just like hope is born again
But if there’s one life
It’s alright
