Lyrics
The Thing I Do The Best
You fall from grace
But you still know how to smile
You're losing face
With each step of every mile
And it's a long long road
It's the cross you bear with pain
Stretching out in front of you
It always looks the same
But the thoughts still deep inside of you
Prove you still know right from wrong
And everything worth keeping
Will be there when the rest has gone
Seems the things I do are feted
They put me to the test
It's the moments that I've wasted
That are made up by the rest
Just to wake up every morning
Is enough to feel you're blessed
And then it's time to think of moving on again
It's the thing I do the best
I've been cast adrift
Drowning in heavy seas
And I have to admit
That I'm a person hard to please
A restless soul
Still looking for release
And I have come to terms
With what will be must surely be
So many times
I swear I'd changed my ways
It's plain to see
That things are still the same today
And it's a long long road
The view still looks the same
Stretching out in front in of me
Still don't know its name
And those thoughts still deep inside of me
Are still keeping me moving on
She's a person, not a memory
And she'll be there when the rest have gone
'Seems the things I do are feted
They put me to the test
It's the moments that I've wasted
That are made up by the rest
Just to wake up every morning
Is enough to feel you're blessed
Then it's time to think of coming home again
It's the thing I do the best
