lyrics

It’s a weary old world
And we carry the scars
From the doors of the church
To back corner of every dark bar
I’ve done my best
But it was just out of reach
You’d think I would learn
But I’ve always been too stubborn to teach

No one gets out clean
The planet turns and sighs
Forget all you’ve seen
And close your eyes
For a little while

I wait at the light
While they cross the street
She glanced my way
Then quickly looked back down at her feet
Every soul in this town
In the same sad burlesque
Stare at the clouds
As they pass by the window near the desk
