Lyrics Caveman - Chris Smither

Caveman

When i was a caveman
painting on the wall
i never had a dollar
but man, i had it all
and i was very high
in the order of things.
Just one step and I’d
spread my wings and fly
Oh, i would fly
Oh, just one step
one step and i could spread
my wings to fly.
When i was a liar
screaming at the wall
i never heard a whisper
i could not hear at all
and i could only cry
for pity of me
never know the truth
might set me free
might set me free
Oh, round we go
and these faces show
they leave and every one
seems ever real
and each one is truly mine
they never last
but at the time
it’s how i feel
each one is truly mine
they never last
but at the time
its how i feel
When i was a dreamer
floating through the wall
nothing was forever
i could change it all
and i could live with
my heart on my sleeve
i could save your soul
i do believe
i do believe
oh, i could save your soul
i could’ve saved your soul
i do believe
i do believe
Then I’ll be an old man
staring at the wall
looking for an answer
to make sense of it all
and i can safely say
that if it comes my way
it will not stay for long
and I’ll be in my way
before it’s gone
before it’s gone
Oh, round we go and
these faces show
they leave and every one
seems ever real
and each one is truly mine
they never last
but at the time it’s how i feel
it’s how i feel
they never last
but at the time it’s how i feel
but when i was a caveman
when i was a caveman
i had it all
i had it all.
