From the recording Golden Spotted Midnight Sky

Lyrics

If I could run, I’d get out of this place

If I could smile, I might show my face

If I could laugh, then I’d be laughing with you

If I could cry, I’d be standing in a pool



Something happens when I get home

I get low

And the dark clouds in the air keep knocking the dust off my shelf

I’m only hurting myself

I’m only hurting myself

And it’s been going on for a long time

it’s been going on for a long time



If I could trust, I’d never doubt

If I wasn’t lost, I could be found

If I was sure, I wouldn’t worry

If I wasn’t trying, I wouldn’t hurry

Something happens when I get home

I get low

And the dark clouds in the air keep knocking the dust off my shelf

I’m only hurting myself

I’m only hurting myself

And it’s been going on for a long time

It’s been going on for a long time

If I was wise, I’d already know

If I was shallow, I could just let it go

If I look happy, you know it ain’t true

If I had a gun, I might wanna shoot

Something happens when I get home

I get low

And the dark clouds in the air keep knocking the dust off my shelf

I’m only hurting myself

I’m only hurting myself

And it’s been going on for a long time

It’s been going on for a long time
