Lyrics
I'm staring at the ceiling laying in bed
Tracing the cracks above my head
Trying to figure out
Where the water comes in
But I just won't know 'til it rains again
I tell myself I'm doing fine
But I know deep down it's a slow decline
Sometimes you've got
To adjust your load
And remind yourself
It's a hazardous road
Dogs are fussing by the backyard gate
Man, I need some place to concentrate
I feel the music move in me
I just need a way to set it free
Holy Moses here it comes
Rain as loud as a Gatlin gun
Clattering against my window pane
And the constant sounds
Like a diesel train
But it'll all run smooth like an almanac
It'll fade one day and it won't come back
It'll stay familiar
When the going gets tough
But how much is enough
I wonder how much is enough
I'm standing in the spotlight
Doing my thing
But I just can't get these birds to sing
You feel my angst, you hear my cry
As I dive in deep for a second try
I'll be ok, I'm just confused
By a brief attack of the stage fright blues
I catch your eye, I raise my brow
You flash that grin
And it all works out somehow
Yeah, I know I said I'd quit real soon
But it feels so fresh
This thing I'm doing
Like I found my groove just yesterday
And I still got so much left to say
Cause it's in my body, it's in my blood
This path I'm on, this endless road
There's a guardian angel
Following me around
She's taking notes and she won't back down
And it'll all run smooth like an almanac
It'll leave one day and it won't look back
It'll stay familiar
When the going gets tough
I hope I know when I've had enough
It'll lure me in like a siren song
Then spit me out
When it all goes wrong
Until such times I'll strut my stuff
But how much is enough
Tell me how much is enough
I've left my mark it's fair to say
From the starters gun
To the close of play
I've lived the life, withstood the pain
When I've overindulged
Or I've abstained
I've walked alone & gone without
I'm a lonesome rider on a roundabout
If only someone had explained
About the lifelong lock
And the ball and chain
When all is done and dusted
From the moment of my birth
I've spun my long interminable songs
Around this earth
Now to be here in this place with you
This special place we've built on truth
We made our vows, our endless song
And like a chain link fence
We've stayed so strong
A chain link fence you can't tear down
We've sown our love on fertile ground
Our frailties and adversities, have
Brought us here
Now what must be will be
I'm staring at the ceiling laying in bed
Tracing the cracks above my head
Trying to figure out
Where the water comes in
But I just can't tell 'til it rains again
Til it rains again
I just can't tell 'til it rains again
