THERE, I SAID IT
The more you got, the more you got to lose
From the top of your head down to the bottom of your shoes
The things you love. The things you abuse

It might…

I can't tell if it's…

I see in color,
Even when, the words, black and white
I hear in flutters,
Even when, the words come in trite.
After all,
I'm tied to this anchor.
I'm tied to this hull.
Tied to this deck, through the night.
I better get to climbing…

Sad but great song.
Sobering and haunting... your voice is awesome on this one
That fleeting thing that has passed, and always passes. Let it remain a warm wave that comes from the back streets of memory.
Excellent sound on this vocal.
Sadly too true for some, my Dad had a wretched childhood thanks to drink and poverty in the 1920's and 1930's. Great song.
Very cool!
