Hope and Fury
Thea Gilmore
I've been lonely
I got older
I read eyes like nursery rhymes
I wanna slow dance
With my last chance
I've been here so many times
I got hope
I got fury
Been this way since I was born
Now keep your thoughts
And keep your prayers
Keep your Amen in uniform
I can throw a glance
Like a hand grenade
I'm afraid to leave
I'm afraid to stay
Got a gutter smile
Got a lot to say
Got to hold the line
Got to make some space
I've been lonely
I got older
I read eyes like nursery rhymes
