goodbye prodigal rascal

verse 1

there once lived a rascal

whose soul was a maze

meandering through passages

for most of his days

and although his ramblings

were the turn of a phrase

he secretly hid his heart

in his many essays

hook

so goodbye you prodigal rascal

lullabys and butterflies are free

the maidens that choose you

are the ones that lose you

if you’d close your eyes you’d see

you were everything you wanted to be

everything but you and me

verse 2

there were many a nights

when the goblins surrounded you

there were so many daybreaks

when away they flew

you had all the blind answers

the thoughtless questions, to   (sic)

but it all seemed so aimless
with your humorous point of view

repeat hook

bridge

 

verse 3

now the prodigal rascal
resides off in the distance
all by himself
without any assistance
that’s how he wanted
to live his existance
so hard to believe
in spite of his insistance

repeat hook (2 x – out)
