Betty Buckley: Fifteen Year Anniversary Re-release, track 12:
Eternal fix
Well, a constant delight is the story I write,
And it hurt me to wonder where you fit in.
In my wanting to please I'd be down on my knees
But for the fact that I know too much better now.

You are all the things that I love
With your hair and your house and your dog.
You're the music that's fundamental and soothin'
But for the fact you've perfected their usin'
To gather the girl in to want for your givin'
And then in the livin' you pull away.

I am stronger the longer that I live each day;
I can see where I once was blind.
And I'm happy most all of the time.

But for the fact that I know where you're at
I'd be happy to be just another
Cause you're o such a beauty, my brother.

Now it's fascinatin' this game that you're playing.
I mean, it's so good it takes time to figure it out.
But I can't help but thinkin'
O, the waste and the sinkin'
Of a spirit who flies.
O, your lies are so boring and my sweet soul's soaring
I can't do without.

Won't you come to my garden where all children play?
Won't you come laugh and wonder and sing "Hip hooray"?
We're alive and the jive talk could fall away.
In the meantime I've got all this lovin' to say.

There's no right one, no wrong one, no baby, no home.
And there's no small possession all things are on loan.
How we use them, how we love them, is what makes them our own.
Here, let me kiss you to convince you.
You are love alone.
You are love alone.

And in the meantime I suggest that you dance, trying so hard to figure
Won't give you the chance.
You are all lines, you're the ocean, you're a total eclipse.
Come sing "hope,"
I'm your light sign.

I'm your eternal fix.
I'm your eternal fix.
I'm your eternal fix.
