lyrics

Look at all the freaky people
They been here before
When you laughed about your better half
And cried about the war
Now look at how they cross your path
And tear the rules apart
In broad daylight they dance and sing
And then they hide to cross their hearts

Remember when you weren't so old
You were neither quite so young
Like tumbleweed and dust you rolled
Tryin' to find a brighter sun
But now the days have picked up speed
And now you're out of breath
And now the words that gave you life
Sound far too much like death

If you find out how you feel today
And still got words to speak
Come on by to my place
We'll repaint my old antiques
And if I get distracted
Or if my jaw is locked
Put on a pot of tea my friend
And we'll turn off all the clocks

I been around a couple places now
Tryin' to find somewhere to breathe
Every time I put down my feet
Somebody says it's time to leave
My mind has been so busy
My heart's been gathering dust
But I know that where the river flows
There's always time for love and trust

I know that it's a long road
And I know I'm on my own
But I also know I'd be a fool
To walk it all alone
So put your mind at ease now
Put it off as best you can
And we'll drink a glass to better times
And clap these dirty hands
