Roy Harper - Short And Sweet lyrics

You ask what is the quality of life Seeking to justify the part you play And mask, what seems a worthless fate To strive, to make it any more or less than short and sweet And you, you are a fantasy, a view From where you'd like to think the world should see Be true and you will likely find a few Building a vision new and justice to your time And we, we, the immoral men, we dare Naked and fearless in the elements We're free, carefree from tempting fates, aware And holding off the moral nightmare at the gates In the garden But short, short is from you to me, as close As we all hope to try to help it be We're caught watching the dark in the sky, who knows? Helpless as time itself to hold the time of day And sweet, sweet as a mountain stream, beholds Toward a new day breaking in the east We'll meet as every future dream unfolds And surely quality it is at very least At very least
