lyrics

Look in the mirror in the morning to see
what kind of questions are looking at me
I should have shaved about 2 days before
it's getting easier to just sleep on the floor

Make ten dollars a day to put up keep out signs
but to sing my songs they won't pay a dime
A nickel to drown my trouble and pain
not a penny for a thought on how that's a shame

There ain't a lot left to tell you
but some words and some thoughts I'm too scared to show
there's too few hours of sunlight each day
and nights are too long to let this all go

It's no easy path I've set for my feet
the steps are all twisted and the band is offbeat
all things aren't fixed by the ripple of time
there'd be no more need for rhythm and rhyme

There ain't a lot left to tell you
but some words and some thoughts I'm too scared to show
there's too few hours of sunlight each day
and nights are too long to let this all go

I hear the whining of the midnight train
and these busy times make for a lonesome refrain
a sea of faces can't make up your one drop of rain
your one drop of rain
