Lyrics
trying to remember what i know...
cream rises to the surface..
a rock falling in a well
flying in a plane over Europe
talking with friends or talking to myself
standing on stage at another show
a stone on winding road
to think about nothing makes me cold
empty mirrors,, empty places
a car on winding road
driving to town across nations
trying to spell my name today
write it on a wall in orange chalk
green light.. red light
walking in my sleep i can't tell
the with or depth of a cell
teen agers in prison teen agers at parties
some beautiful children stopped at the border
children and judges trying to spell
the name of the savior. a boat in a well
and good behavior if you walk on water
trying to remember what i know...
cream rises to the surface..
a rock falling in a well
flying in a plane over Europe
talking with friends or talking to myself
standing on stage at another show
standing on stage at another show...a stone on winding road
coda
