Mister Milton

Mister Milton never told me why
It is that we all have to die.
He said it might be painful,
It might last a while.
He tells me it's the end,
But something new might begin.

Mister Milton never told me why
We have to live this life.
He says it takes a long time
But it's gone in the blink of an eye.
He point out those who do nothing
I see a sad little smile.
He says he loves all human beings
I think I know what he means.

Mister Milton says he likes
The music that I play,
Says it makes him happy,
That it takes him away.
I play just for fun
When he has nothing to say

And I love his smile
I love his smile

Mister Milton never told me why
We're born into this life.
He thinks we fill the void
The others leave behind.
He laughs at my confusion
And I see stars in his eyes.

Mister Milton says he likes
The music that I play,
Says it makes him happy,
That it takes him away.
I play just for fun
When he has nothing to say

And I love his smile
I love his smile
