Fairpoint Diary |
| Fairpoint Diary |
| words and music: Linford Detweiler |
| recording: Films For Radio |
| i can’t see my hands in front of my |
| face on a night like this |
| i just look back on my life |
| and think of all i’ve missed |
| i grew up south of here in towns |
| they tore apart for coal |
| as if to excavate the darkest |
| secrets of my soul |
| so it seems |
| life is just a troubled sea |
| that we sail for free |
| don’t let me drown |
| if the rest of the world’s goin' down |
| you’ve got to breathe your breath in me |
| everybody’s story is more |
| interesting than mine |
| it took me twenty-some-odd-years |
| to see i’d been born blind |
| so i just feel my way to you |
| i try to keep you close |
| i’m never very good at getting |
| what I need the most |
| so it seems |
| life is just a troubled sea |
| that we sail for free |
| don’t let me drown |
| if the rest of the world’s goin' down |
| you’ve got to breathe your breath in me |
| the darkest part of every night |
| is just before the dawn |
| the sun begins to rise |
| when we admit that we were wrong |
| so here i stumble home to you |
| to find the words to use |
| it seems the voices in my head |
| i seldom get to choose |
| so it seems |
| life is just a troubled sea |
| that we sail for free |
| don’t let me drown |
