O lord I think I'm falling
|
To my disbelief
|
I'm cursing like a sailor and lying like a thief
|
It's hard to heed the calling from the better side of me
|
When I'm blaming everybody else and no one's coming clean
|
|
O lord can you see my thick skin wearing thin
|
And the demons of a lesser me are beckoning me in
|
Those who gathered'round me - I'm watching them all leave
|
Cause I am my own ragged company
|
|
You can take a trip to china or take a boat to Spain
|
take a blue canoe around the world and never come back again
|
But traveling don't change a thing, it only makes it worse
|
Unless the trip you take is in to change your cruel course
|
'Cause every town's got a mirror and every mirror still shows me
|
That I am my own ragged company
|
|
O lord it's lonely, lord it's mighty cold
|
And I don't want to live this way
|
Afraid of growing old
|
|
It's hard to heed the warning when you cannot see the crime
|
The only way to remember is to forget in a rhyme
|
And I'm scared to tread the red road that leads to galilee
|
Cause I am my own ragged company
|
