Pulling Left Tonight

Little wind up toy
Spinning like a top
Listen as the waves crash down
A knowing hand says stop

Perfect is never easy
So I'll never ask
But you have to keep a promise
With a smile and a laugh

Never tell me tales
Of the past always lasting
Because the past is always just
Passing

Angels take no judgment
It's not their place to cry
But I know that's what I'll do
when it's time to say goodbye

They're soldiering against us
Marching to an old tune
But it's not the call of the wild
Or the lure of a full moon

Words take no meaning
Unless they have a follow up
And time is always leaving,
Told me the world is to corrupt

Laughing takes no stillness
In the dead of the night
and if you forget yourself
Just call me
and it will be alright
