If I Could Just Get It On Paper |
If I could just get it on paper |
The things that have happened tonight |
That seems to me to be the big key |
I’m havin' too good a time to ever turn |
Out the lights |
Go to bed wake up with a clear head |
Recallin' what made it a ball |
Yes if I could just get it on paper |
I might make some sense of it all |
If I could tell half of the stories |
The funny way most things begin |
Figure ways to disguise all the half-truths and lies |
Find the heart of my song with the point of a pen |
Simple words can become clever phrases |
And chapters could turn into books |
Yes if I could just get it on paper |
But it’s harder than it ever looks |
(instrumental) |
All alone on the edge of the water |
Hidin' out by the sea of cortez |
With my sketch pads and flairs |
Tapes and battery spares |
It’s just no comprehendo to what everyone says |
Time alone seemed to work well for faulkner |
Time away seems to work for the kid |
Life and ink they run out at the same time |
Or so said my old friend the squid |
Yes if I could just get it on paper tonight |
I could tell you what I think I did |
