AN HERBIN' HYMN
I'll take you down the only road I've ever
been down.
I'm trying to tell you about my life.
Happiness, more or less. All this talk of growing old, is getting me down.
So you're born and so you fall, in my forgotten schemes. He was restless,
escape loneliness, find a new address. I need to hear some sounds that
recognise the pain in me. I stopped to say hello 'cause I think you should
know, by now. I hope you feel like I feel. "There's love if you want
it", but my tongue is twisted, I'm more dead than alive. Dreaming
'bout the day when I can see you there, by my side. In my elusive dreams. I
know I'll see your face again. I'm gonna keep catching that butterfly, in
that dream of mine. -we have existence but that's all we share. I see
through you, you see through me, we hide our eyes, I watch you look at me,
watch my fever growing. I know just who I am. We are the rolling people; a
million different people from one day to the next. I'm too afraid to touch.
Been swimming in the lonely sea, with no company. One day maybe you will
love again.
Toast to my rotten soul. Looking back on my
life, you know that all I see are things I coulda changed, I should've
done. A wasted life is bitter spent. Thank you for my life, good night,
goodbye. Leave before I sink, or spill my last drink. Gonna find my way in
life. 'Cause when freedom comes, I'll be long gone. It's just a change in
me, something in my liberty. And life is a game you've tried, life is a
game; you're tired. I've got one more life, can't you see it wasting away,
but I got a plan, do you understand? 'Cause death has no plans. No change,
I can't change, I can't change, I can change but I'm here in my mold.
Looking at the heavens with a tear in my eye.
Where did the good times go? I need to let them go. I must be feeling low,
the lights are right and I am feeling blue. Like a cat, waiting to drown,
this time I'm coming down. Sinking faster than a boat without a hull. I
talked to God in a phonebox on my way home. Well I've never prayed, but
tonight I'm on my knees. There'll be no better time, there will be no
better way, there'll be no better day to save me. I hope you see what I
see. I just can't make it alone.
"You've got to tie yourself to the mast
my friend, and the storm will end. When the world won't stop, there is no
time for crackin' up. The roads, the highs, breaking up your mind, can't
you hear there's beauty in life".
How many corners do I have to turn, how many
times do I have to learn? All the love I have is in my mind.
To the light. There is time, I still feel
strong, I'm a lucky man. I'm gonna see the light...Don't wait to be found.
Get rid of something inside of me now. Where did the good times go? I did I
let them go. So rise, straight to the light, in or out of time. You see me
going. Keep on pushin' 'cause I know it's there. The common door you walked
in alone. Years, it's been long. Come on let the spirit inside you. Into a
light I pass another dream, another trance. Time stands stil. I smile and I
feel no regrets, with who I am. I hope you know which way I'm gonna fly.
Through the light.
Another Velvet Morning for me. Woke up,
another day, the prayin' won't go away. I am growing in peculiar ways. This
time I'm gonna rise. In or out of time. Into the light.
