Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Beautiful despair is hearing Dylan When you're drunk at 3 a.m. Knowing that the chances are No matter what you'll never write like him Oh, brother Beautiful despair is why you lean Into this world without restraint 'Cause somewhere out before you Lies the masterpiece you'd sell your soul to paint Oh, brother What do we laugh or cry Beautiful despair Beautiful despair Beautiful despair is slouching forward Toward a past you might regret All to suck the marrow out Of every magic moment that you get Beautiful despair is playing safe When you were once a rebel child Knowing that tomorrow comes And all you've done is last another mile Oh, brother Oh, dear brother Oh, my brother What shall we drink or dry?
