Songs
How many songs can there really be?
This one must be a hundred for me
It's a need to resonate and share a common truth
Or hide it in a metaphor and paint it with my youth
Oh, how many songs can there really be?
How many stars have I really seen?
Shimmering in shattered shades of pink and water green
Though all are doomed to fade away long eons after me
How many stars can there really be?
To think that I could get up here and send you something new
Or wrap it in a story that you'll never know is true
Guess I'm throwing out a life line, Not sure who is pulling who
All I know is I keep writing and it's like I'm always fighting. These
Little songs don't last for long so I'm sending them to you
Hey, thanks to you for listening. That is, if you're still here
I understand that you just came to talk an' have a beer
But if we dare to keep it down, ain't fooling anyone...
How many songs have we never sung?
To think that I could get up here and send you something new
Or wrap it in a story that you'll never know is true
Guess I'm throwing out a life line, Not sure who is foolin' who
All I know is I keep writing and it's like I'm always fighting. These
Little songs don't last for long so I'm sending them to you
This one must be a hundred for me
It's a need to resonate and share a common truth
Or hide it in a metaphor and paint it with my youth
Oh, how many songs can there really be?
How many stars have I really seen?
Shimmering in shattered shades of pink and water green
Though all are doomed to fade away long eons after me
How many stars can there really be?
To think that I could get up here and send you something new
Or wrap it in a story that you'll never know is true
Guess I'm throwing out a life line, Not sure who is pulling who
All I know is I keep writing and it's like I'm always fighting. These
Little songs don't last for long so I'm sending them to you
Hey, thanks to you for listening. That is, if you're still here
I understand that you just came to talk an' have a beer
But if we dare to keep it down, ain't fooling anyone...
How many songs have we never sung?
To think that I could get up here and send you something new
Or wrap it in a story that you'll never know is true
Guess I'm throwing out a life line, Not sure who is foolin' who
All I know is I keep writing and it's like I'm always fighting. These
Little songs don't last for long so I'm sending them to you
