about
A song about love, a dream, and a man with a hammer.
lyrics
She said "My disappointment is a self-imposed state
but I do have the ability to gaze very deeply"
I asked her “Where do you find the greatest sense of place?”
And with a puzzled looked she replied that there once was a time
When she felt anchored to the floor
Then like a seed never touching soil she just blew out the door
I’m only human, I tend to bend around you
Try my best not to be misunderstood
Mellowing with age like a good liquor should
I'm feeling ancient in the middle of my life
Standing here naked before all except my wife
But she's seen it all before
Never would have blamed her if she'd run out that door
I’m only human, I tend to bend around you
Outside the window foxes scream their blissful rage
Leaves a man to wonder why he must always act his age
And never stray from what is right
Never cry out into the night
I’m only human, I tend to bend around you
In a dream, could see my filthy bare-feet
And became painfully aware that those around me could see them
Nails were everywhere, strewn across the street
And a man with a hammer straightening nails just to save them
He said, "Can I clear your way?
Looks like your dirty feet have had one hell of day"
I’m only human, I tend to bend around you
