Song Description

It's non-autobiographical I assure you. I don't have much left to learn! ha

Lyrics

I've seen so many boys fly too high and the wax i pilling up
Seen the devil disguised as venus in the rain, seen cupid take his aim
I got to admit thought you know i been that boy
I felt the pierce of an arrow and I loved the pain
I stole a kiss from venus in the rain

All good things must die to begin
think I'll strap on my wings and try it out again
Maybe I'll lose but there's a chance I could win
There's only one way to know
and anyway that whislte's blowing

Chorus: and the bell is tolling
and I'm walking away
Got to find me a sun that doesn't burn
And anyway I got alot left to learn

The two roads I saw diverging in the wood
came together in the hush that fell like you said you knew they would
And though my lips formed no words you said you understood
Have I become what you once became
are the two roads we walk down the same

Chorus

Bridge: oh, the moonlight's falling harder
And the flood waters scrape my boots
and my eyes like the moon turn a crescent shade of blue
that's when I think about leaving and I think about you
and I remember the candles burning in my room
and the flames and the flames and the flames
and I recall venus in the rain

Chorus
