It seems that I'm spendin' most of my life
|
Spendin' ten cents while I'm makin' a dime
|
Tryin' to make sense out of life's mixed up rhyme meantime I'm watching it go
|
Clouds in my head they keep crowding my brain
|
Fair weather thoughts disappear with the rain
|
I'm chasing rainbows that never remain helplessly watching life go
|
Watching it go wanting to know where do you go where you've been
|
[ strings ]
|
Poor Cinderella she's bowing her head
|
Tellin' some stranger what a hard life she's led
|
Glass slippers fast asleep under the bed sadly I'm watching her go
|
Prince charming dressed in disarming disguise
|
Flashin' his charms as he's blinding her eyes
|
Morning will hear him say his sunshine goodbye just the way I used to go
|
Watching it go wanting to know where do you go where you've been
|
[ strings ]
|
My Lord it seems I've tried so many things
|
Walking on crutches and calling them wings
|
Wondering who's pulling the puppeteer's strings hmm I'm wantin' to know
|
I feel so confined I keep wanting to roam looking for a life that won't be so alone
|
Singing in my soul Lord I want to go home knowin' I never can go
|
Watching it go wanting to know where do you go when you've been
|
