lyrics

lyrics:

Some things come and some things go. Some things move so slowly that you don't even know that you don't even notice at all, like a rock in the river or a crack in the wall. But the plaster is crumbling, and I'm humbled to see oh, any sign at all, like a bird on the wing or a drift in the breeze, an instance of motion. Just the slightest degree: a shift in my blood, or one word from this body to tell me what I already see.

Some things work and some things don't. So how could you ask this sinking ship to float? But please don't send me away. I ain't got no place to go, but the night and the noise -- of trains on their tracks and planes passing over. Their clatter and roar can't carry me anymore.

Some things come and some things go. Ain't that always the trouble with the words that stick in your throat? They're not coming out quite like they could. They hide in the silence of a long last look. And oh my old friend, I misunderstood you; I misunderstood.
