|
There was a time |
|
When I heard you |
|
Callin' out my name |
|
But these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
When the room went dark |
|
And your voice was gone |
|
I heard you all the same |
|
But these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
I knew I could remember |
|
Your bedroom and your touch |
|
But these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
Definitely was the word |
|
I usedFar too much' |
|
Cause these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
I bummed expensive cigarettes |
|
I wrote John |
|
Steinbeck's books |
|
I undressed someone's daughter |
|
And then complained about her looks |
|
Stealin' was so easy then |
|
I wish that it still were |
|
Now as I pick my own pocket |
|
I know that these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
The church was my kitchen |
|
The world was my church |
|
But these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
The choirs |
|
I would listen |
|
Through briers |
|
I would search |
|
But these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
I sacrificed my sister |
|
I prayed my own soul to keep |
|
I told my dying father |
|
That a man should never weep |
|
Breathin' was so easy then |
|
I wish that it still were |
|
Now as the breeze just makes me colder |
|
I know that these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
So if you see me trippin' |
|
I've forgotten how to walk |
|
And I spend my days |
|
Wishin' after her |
|
My steps are without rhythm |
|
And her name is drawn in chalk' |
|
Cause these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
|
I drank my wine for breakfast |
|
Every mornin' |
|
I was born |
|
In the black, electric winter |
|
My back was always warm |
|
Sleepin' was so easy then |
|
I wish that it still were |
|
Now in my sleepless bedroom |
|
I know that these days |
|
I'm not so sure |
