lyrics

Oh my darling
What are we doing here?
Are there things to learn
in this precarious turning
ride that we can't steer

I have lost so much
of all I thought I'd found
Some was stolen,
some went spoiled,
some lay scattered on the ground

Now I stand with you
confused as I ever been
Not sure what I am anymore
Not sure where I fit in
All I've got are contradictions
laid out absolute
Can you see through that
a little deeper to the truth?

Oh my darling
You know I'm not a patient man
Through I try to calm my worried mind
the best that I can

I'm strung up tighter
than the strings I'm strummin' on
If I could only ring as true as them
I could never go wrong

But I'm not made of steel
though I often try to be
The urgency I feel
it has always haunted me
It sends me spinning aimless
I don't know where I'll end up
But right now I'm here with you
and that's enough
