Sister Hazel - Sister Hazel
There's been days I've fallen
And walked away the times I should have stayed
I looked away, yeah looked away...so far away
And when you asked I said I'm not afraid
Bridge:
But now I can't hold it...hold it
Flash a frozen smile when it boils down inside
No now I can't hold it...hold it
Just a little crack...
And then the walls come tumblin' down
Chorus:
And I feel it
It's my time don't try to steal it
Feel it
Reach inside
Feel it
If you ask well I won't conceal it
Feel it
I used to wonder but now I finally know...
Papa said the sun it also rises
But when I turn it's falling from the sky
It slips away...yeah slips away
So far away
And leaves me staring only at the night
Bridge
Chorus
Watch the walls come tumblin' down...
Chorus
By simple definition I'd be scattered
Oh where do I begin
Well I'm stuck within the mortal framework
Of having to use words
And I...I've never been one...
I've never been one for incompleteness
Bridge:
My attempts to say...never find their way nah uh
(All these things they escape me)
Inconsistency is inconsistency within this conversation...yeah!
Chorus:
Sometimes...You know there's no limits and...
Sometimes...I'm a mother, I'm a brother, I'm a lover and another...
Sometimes...I'm scared...but sometimes I'm a hero...
Sometimes...But mostly I'm just me!
In some regards I'd use the term eclectic
The merging of experience
And different points of view...oh yeah
Well I think, I learn, I listen and
I sift my way right through
And I...I'm always the one
I'm always the one with fascination...yeah...
Bridge
Chorus (2 x's)
Finally I figured out
But it took a long long time
And now there's a turnabout
Maybe cause I'm trying
Chorus 1:
There's been times
I'm so confused
All my roads
They lead to you
I just can't turn
And walk away...
Chorus 2:
It's hard to say
What it is I see in you
Wonder if I'll always
Be with you
But words can't say
And I can't do
Enough to prove
It's all for you
I thought I'd seen it all
'Cause it's been a long long time
But then we'll trip and fall
Wondering if I'm blind
Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Rain comes pouring down (Pouring down)
Falling from blue skies (Falling from blue skies)
Words without a sound
Coming from your eyes
Chorus
My aspiration grows and with it grows my pride
No consolations just frustrations I don't mind
I crossed a thousand rivers and never will I tire
But I'll walk away, I'll walk away
And take my test of time
Chorus:
What's ahead
That's for me to see and...
What I am
That's for me to be and...
Where I go
That's for me to know and...
Now I lead
And I will not follow
My hands they bleed from the pounding on the door
I fell face down and still I pounded on the floor
My hear it hurts and my throat it's gettin' sore
But I'll talk my way, I'll talk my way
And then I'll talk some more
Chorus
Tomorrow dawn it lights the way for me
Down a road that goes on and on
And on and on and on...
Just survivin' it ain't the way to be
Tried it once and it took it's toll on me
He hesitated, never acted in the now
I never waited, wiped the sweat off of my brow
They congregated so I looked at them and bowed
And I'll have my way, I'll have my way
And never turn around
Chorus
When you were born you didn't know
You thought we were the same
You know we walked the same...we talked the same
Although you never knew my name
But you were told when we were young
That I was not the same
"You know he's not the same...he's not the same!"
And then you never asked my name...
Bridge:
I say won't you have a lovely day
And then you come back telling me to go to hell
Chorus:
But it's...One Nation indivisible
One Nation Indivisible
One Nation Indivisible...oh my God it's irresistible
One Nation Indivisible...
Well a baby is a baby
A man he is a man
You know he tries the same...he cries the same
And then you know he dies the same
But when I ask in disbelief
And they say "just because!"
You know I have to state...we learn to hate
And man you know I can't relate...!
Bridge
Chorus
Don't know what I'm gonna make of this
Feeling contemplative today
I'm used to finding solace
In what I bought or what I thought but
That's not going to be satisfactory today
Chorus:
Used to run and try to hide
Today I'll stay and pick a side
And if I die well least I tried
Yer standin' in my way...
Looked around this place to see where I belong
Feel misunderstood again today
It's such a strange sensation
Being my kind here in this time yeah
But that's not cause for much
But aggravation today
Chorus
Where was I...when Jimi kissed the sky?
And a Beatle said it's not too late to "Give peace a chance"
I survived The Brady Bunch
And the age of "let's do lunch"
Time is time...yeah time is time
Time and time again
Chorus (2 x's)
I know...some things
Well they don't feel right and I can't sit tight
Still there's some other things they can make you smile
they can make you high...
Still there's some other things...make you turn your head
Make you change your direction
If you check their worth
Well they're not too deep and you need some correction...
Chorus:
I've got infatuation with the little things
They make me feel good...
Why should I feel bad...ooh...
I've got infatuation with the little things...little things
If you try you could...
And then you won't be...
Feelin' that way no more no
Sun rise...moon rise
Well it all seems nice even though it's predictable
Take it...twist it...
What's in my head is simply unrestrictable...
Chorus (2 x's)
Took a left turn at Albuquerque
You went north and I went south
It's just time so don't you worry
Hard to wait but patience pays
Open my door the cupboard's bare
It's hard to give when nothing's there
All this shit and such confusion
Tell myself it's not an illusion
Chorus:
We need some space between us
Take a deep breath, clear my head
We need some space between us
Fall the wall, and build a bridge
We need some space between us
Don't go out and get a New thing
Hey...Hey...Hey
I've been here it's so familiar
Close the book I know the end
Want so much a different story
Want so much a different way
Just so much well its just so much
And I'm up too close and I just can't see
Tryin' to think before I answer
And I'm trying' to walk before I run
Chorus
Took a left turn at Albuquerque
You went north and I went south
It's just time so don't you worry
Hard to wait but patience pays
Chorus
Hey...Hey...Hey!
I'm far away from here
If you look inside
You have a vacant stare
Say what you tryin' to hide
Chorus:
Gonna take my time
'Cause yer wastin' mine
And yer not too kind
And I don't think it's funny...no.
I sit and watch the sky
It sometimes talks to me (Talk to me)
You say you'd rather die
You say what's on the TV...TV
Chorus (2 x's)
I see a child cry
Then calm a storm of tears
You say it's all a lie
You say what's he got to fear
(He's just a little kid...!)
Well we shared a season
Running through the fields
We never had a reason
To be scared of things
That were so unreal
Making our own stories
Playing our own games
We never had no worries
Never thought things
Would ever change
Chorus:
But I'm missin' you today...
Don't know why you went away
Times I sat and wondered
Nights we sat and cried
I'm proud to be your brother
No one knows how hard we tried
To make it to tomorrow
For just another day
There's never time to borrow
For things I'll never get to say...
Chorus
Bridge:
So many days I'm searchin'
So many nights I'm left alone
Sometimes the song of the wind
Well it's...only the warning for the storm
Moments turn to hours
Months they turn to years
It's different now without you
With your image crystal clear
The child was the teacher
A brother and a friend
A fragile little creature
Who'd do it all again and again
Chorus
Bridge
Well we shared a season
Running through the fields
