lyrics

THE GREAT, WIDE MUNDANE
(words and music by E.P. Schwartz)

The shape of risk
is cloudy now
cloudy now
and mere mortals
stupid with gray
fall in
they find the graver cost
of candy floss
and glycerine
so hard to be good
hard to be good
they chalk it up
to rings in the wood
but it's fear
there's not much air
between there and here

I met a man
coming the other way
he said
"I'm mostly regret now.
the rest is whiskey and clay"
I asked "what are you doing here?"
He said "Tracing back my path
to a day when I was clear.
There wasn't much air
between there and here

I get cold
so easy now
and the good days
when they come
don't want to hang around
I can take
grief and pain
I just can't stare down
the great, wide
mundane

The great, wide
mundane

I want you here
