Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I don't write 'cause I don't think I don't have a need to speak I don't see the bright side, quite as clear Accolades and happy days They don't ever last Stories of courage clouded up with fear [Chorus] In the broom grass I would l lie Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me From Victory, I tried To match eternal light with how I lead my life Of course, I was forced to retreat From victory I accept defeat [Verse 2] Waxy green and yellow walls Outside my windows fall Covering the light I thought I'd see Am I sad or am I sick? What's at the root of it? Do I throw my hands and quit? Something tells me no [Chorus] In the broom grass I would l lie Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me From victory, I tried To match eternal light with how I lead my life Of course, I was forced to retreat From victory I accept defeat [Bridge] Worries on all sides of my mind In silence, my darkness is denied [Chorus] In the broom grass I would l lie Glimmer in my eye, the sun smiled back on me From victory, I tried To match eternal light with how I lead my life Of course, I was forced to retreat From victory I accept defeat From victory I accept defeat
