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
