Safe from Sorrow Now

I can't believe I've even liked the new John Mayer so much I've let it percolate inside my brain and have even translated that album into a new poem/lyric /song for my own:

Safe from Sorrow Now

My heart was frozen with the river

Man, I probably shouldn’t’ve survived

The propellers fell off my jet plane

Wow, what a nose dive – wild ride

Almost became derailed & went insane

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

I think I’m safe from sorrow

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

Even though there’s nothing left to burrow

Yeah, I’m thinking of a future for tomorrow

So, it was we it became. Sorry I brought you shame.

I was thinking you knew I thought it was only a game

All the blankets in the armoire couldn’t hide my shivers

But now no matter how I feel I know I’m lucky I’m alive

And I’m just grateful to humbly learn how to survive

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

I think I’m safe from sorrow

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

Even though there’s nothing left to burrow

Yeah, I’m thinking of a future for tomorrow

As trains go by along the rails and down the line

River flows and leaves my heart rushing every time

I hear those things – I hear them crying out not knowing

How each way they’ll be thought of by those who see them

Just how their day goes – Whether it was bad or a good one

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

I think I’m safe from sorrow

Well, hey, yea, Oh, well, now

Even though there’s nothing left to burrow

Yeah, I’m thinking of a future for tomorrow
