lyrics

So I walk on down the road
See a house and peek inside
Lovers under neon lights
He says "She'll never be mine"
The world stops, an hour drags
Along like it's a day
So I move out the back
After tripping on my way
It's so hard to say goodbye
When we're laying down in bed
'Cause I go to stand and I end up
Kissing you instead

He feels his heartbeat on the forest floor
The poet's paces pause to sore
Will it sell to a poor man? I'm not sure
He's been down this road before
She takes his hand, leads to a land
Where every raindrop tastes of sand
He sees her hunger stare into the souls of the other men
She slips he falls into a life that he has only spent
Every meal is heaven sent
And I don't know if I can pay the rent

There's a man for goodness sake
Got his feet in Sugar Lake
His corn cob pipe in waving wake
When his big bag did turn to shake
She freezes over suddenly
With his ankles trapped inside
Misery did hold her breath
But to me she did confide
Lets soar, get sore, come on baby
Give me some more
Reduced to a grim statistic
And I heard hammering on the floor

And every baby bird
Has got to fly out from the nest
Doesn't know which way he heads
'Cause he knows nowhere is best
And like his wings up into the sky
I got my feet down on the ground
And as he's flying up ahead
I'll be rambling all around
Half the lands on fire man
And the other half is aflood
I got my head up in the clouds
And my boots down in the mud

Beginning Songs
by Arthur Krumins

The first song I heard of Arthur's was the first track on his first album. I was hooked, and he continues to grow his craft with new releases. An incredibly kind human. Check out his other albums. J. Solemn
