High and Dry

I left it for a conversation
in the unforgiving rain
Treated to a demonstration
Of it's long-enduring pain
Though it captures my imagination
I feel my interest wane
It doesn't matter what I try

I left it high and dry
I left it to it's own devices
But it's still hollowed out
I tried to find out what the price is
But the store was all sold out
But as they gave in to their vices
The rain and flooding turned to drought.
It doesn't matter what I try

I left it high and dry
Never wondering why
I did my best to save it
But it was not unscathed

Did I follow it down to you?
Did it bring me right back around?
Though I can't say that I have a clue
I hope it takes me back to the ground.
Did you come right out of the blue?
I'm carrying every pound
It doesn't matter what I try

I left it high and dry
Never wondering why
I did my best to save it
But it was not unscathed

I left it high and dry
Never wondering why
I did my best to save it
But it was not unscathed

I can try and repair what
I have broken down
And with each passing nightmare
I'll raise it from the ground

I left it high and dry
Never wondering why
I did my best to save it
But it was not unscathed

I left it high and dry
Never wondering why
I did my best to save it
But it was not unscathed
