CHET BAKER'S UNSUNG SWAN SONG

My old addiction
Changed the wiring in my brain
So that when it turns the switches
Then I am not the same

So like the flowers toward the Sun
I will follow
Stretch myself out thin
Like there's a part of me that's already buried
That sends me out into this window

My old addiction
Is a flood upon the land
This tiny lifeboat
Can keep me dry
But my weight is all
That it can stand

So when I try to lean just a little
For just a splash to cool my face
Ahh that trickle
Turns out fickle
Fills my boat up
Five miles deep

My old addiction
Makes me crave only what is best
Like these just this morning song birds
Craving upward from the nest
These tiny birds outside my window
Take my hand to be their mom
These open mouths
Would trust and swallow
Anything that came along

Like my old addiction
Now the other side of Day
As the springtime
Of my life's time
Turn's the other way

If a swan can have a song
I think I know that tune
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon
But the page is only scrawled
And I am gone this afternoon

Altamont, now, won't be the same
When we see each other again
If it all falls apart, who is to blame?

Don't you think it's time to get real?
I want to scream out the way I feel
I'm so tired of watching you bail..

CHORUS
Hey, don't try to tell me it's okay
Don't turn me off and walk away
You've gotta say it's straight

Close the door,
but it won't go away
Tell me that it's at your control
I'm not waiting for you anymore

CHORUS

Altamont, I'm on your side
Believe it or not I'm on your side
It's so hard to be your friend sometim
