Easily Bruised

Lend an ear I’ll tell you a story about a man who didn’t know how to be Joined a traveling circus from PEI to BC I was playing dead every morning, I was taking dives every night Then someone came and swept me off my feet in mid-flight Now without her love I really got nothing Without her love I’d hang up my shoes It’d be a world of suffering if this one I was ever to lose So I’m hanging on with all of my power Hanging on as tight as a noose Around the midnight hour she said “remember that I’m easily bruised” I had everything that I wanted. Had so much I threw it away But she could see that what I needed was never there anyway Now everything around me is shifting. I’m running like a child through a maze But I’m never lost completely cause an angel keeps me safe Without her love I’m dead in the water Without her love my aim is untrue My blood gets hotter and hotter at the thought of leaving this angel blue So I’m hanging on with all of my power It’s looking like our bodies might fuse And when her cried got louder, she said “remember that I’m easily bruised” Everything makes sense in a moment and a moment’s independent of time But who decides where truth resides? Your guess is as good as mine So have another sip of the good stuff, have another round on me If this moment lasts forever then the truth we might just see But without her love I don’t have an inkling I’d be howling every night at the moon And if the stars stopped twinkling the end would surely be coming soon So I’m hanging on with all of my power in the garden where we’re all free to choose Any fruit or flower she said “remember that I’m easily bruised” “Remember that I’m easily bruised” “Remember that I’m easily bruised”
