isn't it just like me
to make a joke out of tragedy
all i needed was some time
i'm not living in the past
i thought i'd try
to make you laugh
that's one thing i can do
and do it well
well i wish i could
i was just passing
through your neighborhood
but you don't seem too amused
i just thought i'd stop and say
i was thinking about you today
and you were right
i see you in the morning sun
in the flight of the blue heron
i see you in the evening sky
and i see you in my dream
this song was easy to write
it just came to me last night
it only took me fifteen years
now isn't it just like me
to make a joke out of tragedy
all i needed was some
time
to make a joke out of tragedy
