reece sullivan – i dismissed your work lyrics

i dismissed your work for several years
but i found it hard to take
that the words you once wrote drenched in beers
somehow dried and blew away
i searched the earth both far and near
but none could give voice to my pain
come back and sing your song so dark and strange

you worked as though you soul were at stake
as you scavenged to find some meat
oh, you cut your t++th on william blake
and william butler yeats
you sailed the moon into the lake
with words transcending the beat
boy, you hit on something rеal and something deep

i’m telling you thesе things, ’cause i know that they’re true
it’s a very strange spiritual thing that we do
i’m trying to speak in plain terms that have practical use
and i’m telling you these things as a friend, because i care for you

i’ve seen the fashion come and go
i’ve heard the modern sound
always empty, vacant, and lacking worth
oh, one hears it round & round
i’ve travelled quite far upon the earth
but there ain’t much of value i’ve found
most things are cheaply made and let me down
in case your memory’s failing you
i’ll show you how it’s done
and i’ll make it all look easy, too
with words rolling off the tongue
and yes, these things were things you knew
made clear in the song that you sung
come back and sing your song; fill up your lungs

i’m telling you these things, ’cause i know that they’re true
it’s a very strange spiritual thing that we do
i’m trying to speak in plain terms that have practical use
and i’m telling you these things as a friend, because i care for you

alternative verse:
i’ve found it hard to come to terms
with your loss of art and such
for i believed in you as a fan will do
perhaps believed too much
i assume and hope you see this, too
and throw me a wild, counter+punch
forgo the easy road and lose the crutch
