Standing Still
An eight ball and two and all Is how I measure the length that I must go To outrun you standing still
A soft light and such delight A nervous gesture That dropped me to my knees Now I wonder where you are tonight
A hard fall and through it all I never felt so callous A cut sleeve and to believe And once again I walked home alone
This old world, it counts for nothing I did all I could do Now I won't accept your blessing
On this, our final night Won't live to see the light Of morning
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So I cling to apron strings As I recall my father's dying words 'Some girls are sweet Some girls are wicked'
From this tree comes out red seed An ugly cloister of flat foot, bookish boys Who'd as soon kick you as kiss you
And this old world, it counts for nothing I did all I could do Now I won't accept your blessing
On this, our final night I won't live to see the light Of morning
An eight ball and two and all Is how I measure the length that I must go To outrun you standing still
