Shipwreck prayers

 

I can’t play guitar like I used to

But there’s still

A song in my heart

And I don’t drink as much as I used to

But I still hurt

In all the same parts

And watchin my boy run

Through the milkweed

Playing tag with the afternoon sun

I felt for sure I was a hundred

And his life had just begun

God damn what a gift

Every moment we’re given

Right there on the cliff

Is when we start living

And I don’t know how long the wind is

Gonna blow this sail

But I know I’ll prevail

With help from the man upstairs 

And shipwreck prayers
