Before The Color Dries Lyrics & Chords By The Vestals

He woke up slow
Pulled up by an old hand
He'd done it once before
To write a song naked in snow
Now he floats and fumbles around
All the while she laughs and sings
About a friend she had for a while
The beaten man
And poets say it's okay to breathe dust and smoke all day
Crept along the paintbrush shades, her Chinese vase
Flowers will not rest in here
Before the color dries
Not before she pays for another under the table
Cry for the girl, steal from the boy
Life can't be always fair
Together once in line in stream
Together for one empty dream and empty cradle
