I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw a coffin drop down dead,

I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.

We would have won…
if Jack had just scored that goal,
if we’d had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,

if we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
if we hadn’t taken it easy,
if we hadn’t run out of energy,
We would have won…
if we’ve been better!

And I give it all to you
To hold on winter mornings
When the snow is new.I’ve saved some sunlight
If you should ever need
A place away from darkness
Where your mind can feed.And for myself I’ve kept your smile
When you were but nineteen,
Till you’re older you’ll not know
What brave young smiles can mean.I know no answers
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere
At the bottom of the day. But if you’ve a need for love
I’ll give you all I own
It might help you down the road
Till you’ve found your own.

I don’t know how I can help you to start your journey through life. However, there will be solutions somewhere before the day is through. Whenever you need love, I’ll offer all I have. It might help you as you travel on your way, till you find the love that belongs to you.
