Grief Disguised as Joy

Lyrics

Close your eyes Before you sleep It helps to keep Dreams alive A diamond sky Beyond your reach Some distant beach Like paradise How come the chosen few don't choose you As they weave that mortal coil? How come the ones who laugh, leave you 'til last Then give you grief disguised as joy? Tomorrow so close So give up your ghosts Untouched by love And getting late Oh Catherine wheel How does it feel To twist and fly As others die? How come the chosen few don't choose you As they weave that mortal coil? How come the ones who laugh, leave you 'til last Then give you grief disguised as joy? You play with fire I've been there too And the first hundred years are the toughest So it gets better? A little better? A bitter better But don't expect to want everything you get
