woodstock song from Pocketsongs by Simon van Gend Band

I’m down in Woodstock again, I’m feeling 4 out of 10
I’ve got nostalgia creeping in my bones
How do I go with the flow, not float away I don’t know
When every feeling makes me more alone

Kiss a stone fisherman borderline running again
I hope to find another way to breathe, not to leave loving again
I’m trying harder to be near but I fear I’m fighting in vain
I’m trying to see you, I’m trying to see you through this pain

Today I tried to feel good, but I just felt what I could
And I could only find myself to blame
I’m lost inside a belief that keeps me hiding my grief
I’m dreaming faces in a sea of shame

Fight again middle brain shiver pain leave it alone
who’s fighting not to hold onto whatever I’m running away
From like this shower in the grey day small rays lighting the stones
I’m trying to see you, I’m trying to see you through my pain

I’m half awake in my sleep, got lions stalking my sheep
got molars teeming in my gums
I ride my horse on this beach, I chase the things I can’t reach
I’m flying on toward the dying sun

Oh I’m falling in, where streams begin
But where will I flow?
cradle rocks and baby tumbles
the shepherd to his flocks he stumbles
steadily they go steadily they go

Sugarcane watermelon apricot love in the rain
These shadows pull apart my heart feels like I’m falling again
But then I look around solid ground wraparound singing my name
I’m trying to see you, I’m trying to see you through this pain
