An original song inspired by our challenging times. First the fires and now the Coronavirus. Perhaps this song is sung partially through the voice of Mother Nature...maybe she has had enough. All I can do is inject how I feel into my music and hope that everything turns out for the best.
lyrics
Live and learn but you don't
Just watch it burn then it's gone
Over and over and over and over and over
You fall asleep and lose control
You watch the fire and can't let go
Over and over and over and over and over
It's mystifying so wash me down
Cleanse my soul with your water
I'm dying
Can't you see you're falling to your knees
Counting down...seventeen seconds to go
Got something in my pocket the shape of you
Cold in my hand it gets me through
Over and over and over and over and over
Rough around the edge it's lighting up
The smoke-filled sky but it's not enough
Over and over and over and over and over
It's mystifying so wash me down
Cleanse my crime with your water
I'm dying
Can't you see you're falling to your knees
Counting down...seventeen seconds to go
Can't you see there's nothing left here for me
Counting down...seventeen seconds to go
