The Point Of No Return

Lilacs and lavender, roses of white
What of which I pick is wrong?
I couldn't decide and all of them died
I always wait too long
You were a dream there inside of my head
But somewhere I burnt out a fuse
‘till crabgrass and thistles and weeds of all kinds
was all was left that grew
You're perennial I'm a fool
I stood there and watched it all burn
Then all in a flash I blew right past
the point of no return

Rubies & diamonds, emeralds & pearls
sapphires & rivers of gold
I tried to hoard them & carry them all
a weight no man should hold
Black birds and blue jays and sparrows and doves
Above me a murder of crows
I tried to keep them here all in a cage
I wouldn’t let them go
You’re aeronautical, I'm a fool
I watched you fly away spurned
The sky grew sober as you flew over
the point of no return

Huron and Michigan peaceful & blue
Erie, Superior too
Further down street we meet in a dream
where the undertow looms
You’re hip-nautical I can’t move
Niagara it pulled and it churned
And the faces on the shore watched me in horror
pass the point of no return
And the sky grew darker as I past the marker
and point of no return
