Song Description

Song about how life can sometimes feel as though you can't catch a break, and there is no way to stop and rest to regain your strength.

Lyrics

I can?t run anymore away from what I feel
Everything is dark and growing cold
Someone took the only key and hung it out of reach
I tried to do it just as I was told
I guess the piece is still missing, the puzzle is undone
From where I sit the glass it is bone dry
Spinning in infinity with nothing left to grasp
Opportunity saw my door and walked on by

Chorus
Light me one more cigarette, is there one more left
Someone get the lights I just can?t see
There is no shade beneath a fallen tree

The old black man on the corner holding out his cup
For some spare change and a little sympathy
Most days I just pass him by not giving much ado
Then today I heard him whisper please
The sun keeps cookin? down on me like I?m a loaf of bread
I?m sweating like I?ve run a hundred miles
My compass has no needle but I just can?t let it go
I feel just like ol? Daniel waitin? trial

Repeat Chorus

The breakfast waitress handles me just like I was her son
Along with all the rest who wait in line
But when I?ve had my fill I go off and pay the bill
What?s the use I?m running out of time
The bank is calling daily just to ask how things progress
I answer and I tell them he?s not here
It?s just a silly game we play I?m sure they know the truth
There?s really just one way to disappear

Repeat Chorus

So what have you been thinkin?
Are you busy are you free
I?m sorry, did I call at a bad time
Call me when it?s easier, or maybe not at all
I just thought ... oh, never mind
