Mark Kozelek - I Love You Forever and Beyond Eternity lyrics

Came home from tour, it has been two month, I know The summer is pa**ing, I'm looking heavier, I know Lay down on my bed I look down, my god my belly looks like Play-Doh I'm almost fifty, I guess it's just the way life goes Yesterday I got back into my better exercise routine Laid off carbs, walked a few miles, I wanna be healthy and grow old I wanna look good to you the way you look good to me But I ain't twenty-five anymore, it's hard, it's just the way life goes Turned on the TV and I saw on the news that in Japan a man stabbed to d**h nineteen people who were handicapped My mind can't wrap itself around these things anymore, it's just the way life goes for some right down the f**ing toilet bowl I love my friends, P.S. friends the ones who love you back and most of all it's my family and you and your dog and your cat Some have moved on and went down very different paths I guess it's just the way it's just the way it's just the it's just the way life goes Fog horns kept me up all night, you were beside me, I laid awake with jetlag and I tried to write Talked on the phone to my foreign concert promoters, the cyclical way of life is a repetitive motor When I'm fifty next year, I'm gonna try to pick my punches Listen to my soul and try to trust my hunches My body's telling me, that it's time to slow them My creative calling will never stop going Got me a house in the mountains and we rarely go In this summer cause I'm always on the road If I'm lucky at Christmas time we catch a glimpse to the Christmas snow It's just the way life goes It's the best part of the year, the glow of Christmas The smell of turkey and stuff and watching movies and the candles flickering I watch The Shining every Christmas religiously and A Christmas Story plays for twenty-four hours on TNT Next year gonna try to spend some more time with you be the man I like to be and that's a better man to you What's the year of (?) for once my garden out there in the mountains will stay alive The disappointment is about where I stopped the song a few weeks ago Then I left for Buenos Aires, got a bad cough on the flight over Now I'm laying in bed the hotel cla**ical, got a decent nice sleep and tonight is my show Gonna k** that guy due every time when this life wants and when I write, Baby, I write Gonna sing my songs and be back to you in a short time but I stop in New Orleans first, but I'm telling you, Baby, when I get home, we gonna be just fine Sometimes when I'm alone in my thoughts, there is a war going on and my stomach is in knots A lot of times on stuck on planes alone in my thoughts, wondering what the right thing is and what is not Today I was alone in my thoughts, walked along the sidewalk, where this year Will Smith was shot Will Smith the New Orleans saint, stupid, not the f**ing actor, who were all times an inch away from playing a disaster And of course I come back and I turn on the news Look what happened up in Baton Rouge The whole city is under the f**ing waters as far as my cough and my travel was, gonna quit my b**hin' Tonight I'm alone in my thoughts and at peace with myself, the choices I made and all the books and CDs on my shelf Should have spent some hurts and sadness along the way But I think of my friends, who have pa**ed every single god damn day And Caroline, your support and your love means so much to me Every great man has a great woman behind him, who gives him strength and freedom to be the man, he is set out to be being I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity I love you baby forever and beyond eternity
