Lyrics

Hey what you doing
Storm it be brewing
My how you’re stewing
Note it’s accruing
Hey where you moving
Toxic is spewing
Might I be viewing
No
Guess I never forgot about with me and you
Memories stick together just like crazy glue
As I’m moving sauntering everything just falls right apart
Once was grooving now faltering as I fumble to ignite the weary start
Sidestepping blows and peppering like spotlights just watching your eyes dart
Sheltering and shepherding draw the wagons around my worn and teary heart
Hey there you go
Just like in a dream
What do you know
Not quite all as it seems
Why do you stow
Might you share sparingly
What you propose
Is simply not for me
Hey where you going
Floodgates they open
Minds they are blowing
Feelings are flowing
Just can’t be stowing
Resentment is growing
Crosswinds are blowing
Go
Suddenly emerge from the deep recesses of my mind
Resurfacing at the most inconvenient of times
Makes no sense trivial rhythm which I try to rhyme
Drift lost and hopeless without my sole partner in crime
As I’m moving sauntering everything just falls right apart
Once was grooving now faltering as I fumble to ignite the weary start
Sidestepping blows and peppering like spotlights just watching your eyes dart
Sheltering and shepherding draw the wagons around my worn and teary heart
Hey what you do
Don’t think that it’s free
One of the few
As far as I can see
Out of the blue
Try hard to take the lead
What’s old is new
Is all I do concede
As I’m moving sauntering everything just falls right apart
Once was grooving now faltering as I fumble to ignite the weary start
Sidestepping blows and peppering like spotlights just watching your eyes dart
Sheltering and shepherding draw the wagons around my worn and teary heart
Suppose I’ll head out on my own
That I will
Go and dig up a new bone
Then I’ll chill
Guess I’ll blaze out in the dust
Cause it’s time
Peel off all the hanging rust
Make it mine
Wander down the shady lane
Watch me now
Discard all of the old pain
Show me how
Seek shelter beneath the rain
Make it shine
Hop on the next passing train
Feel the rhyme
