I don’t see what You see in me
‘Cause I’m just flesh and bone
Many hours at the carousel
Postcards, from far from home
Sometimes I feel as useless as my empty words, old president’s dogs, clean paws and no dirt
What do these words mean
Sometimes I just don’t know
Sometimes I just can’t see where it is I go
I waste my whole day
Thinking over things I’ve said
Avoiding myself like the plague in my head
~Chorus~
I know that You see me
And I-I know You’re about me
And that’s why You let me roam
Another 10 miles ‘nother 10 miles ‘nother 10 m-iles
Another 10 miles ‘nother 10 miles ‘nother 10 m-iles
Where does all this lead
And why must I follow it
‘Cause nothin’ is black and white
Even me, must I admit
But I jot down the facts, and work on consistency
But open up the closet door
It’s George and the cat and me
My shifting eyes like sands
Cannot focus on the void
Concentration still
Get thee behind me Freud
‘Cause I’m grasping at straws and the bale is almost gone
The fire’s grown much too dim
Nights grow much too long
~Chorus~
Another 10 miles ‘nother 10 miles ‘nother 10 m-iles
(2X)
I-I am holding things Y-ours not
m-ine
While I should cling to You like a
c-ow beneath the light of a highway s-ign
I wait-ed
For the L-ord on h-igh
You know
You kn-ow I wait-ed
For the L-ord on h-igh
You know
You know know, kn-ow you know know
And you kn-ow, you kn-ow I cr-ied
