I hear the sounds of
the crows on the roof top
I pull the cover up over my head
It’s winter still but I need spring
And I don’t want to get out of bed
Who’s gonna get up and turn the heater on?
Who’s gonna plug in the phone?
Everybody just leaves it to me
Oh, I guess ‘cause I live hear alone
All day long I stared
at this computer
I keep believing I’ll write that book
Trouble is, I get so far
I start thinking I am not any good
How to stop the second guess
How to still dissenting voices
Long enough to get me strong
So that I can see that I still have my choices
Whoever said we were
born to lose
I don’t think he really knew
If we can make a habit, we can break it
It’s what we’ve got to do
I don’t believe that we are bound to fail
Simply ‘cause we usually do
Open your heart and set it like a sail
And find a world that’s true
A sound so clear like a clarion call
Through the wall of fear
Where we lived so long
Had to make my break
with LA
Another record deal was too much strife
My career just flew away
What a shame but I got my life back
How to stop the fear and doubt
How to still the taunting voices
Long enough to get us strong
So we can see that we still have our choices
Easy now to see the
things I wish I’d done
Clearer in the distance than they were back than
I could wonder all my life what might have been
If I knew what I know, I’d gently let it go
But I had to live and learn, Oh
