Lyrics Shed Song - Tim Barry

Shed Song

I sleep best with the rain upon this shed
Still counting miles, but I’m not sure
How many good ones I’ve got left
In some ways I know that I should settle down
But it ain’t in me right now, so I’ll keep on moving slow
And keep looking all around
A mind don’t turn with feet nailed to the floor
Keep a pounding heart full of love for all
Turn no one away but keep close what’s yours
Man, life ain’t half bad here but it sure as hell ain’t ideal
Can’t sort what’s been gained to what’s been stole
Or how hours can add up to all these years
Morning’s best when health’s leaning on my side
Have some coffee, get on a walk for some air
Just to clear my mind
Come afternoon, although I’m tired and drained
I get my work done without a sound and wonder if it’s even
Worth the pay
By nightfall when I’m all alone and can hardly move
I can’t call it common sense, but I fight to not drink
And fight to plan my next move
I shouldn’t be this tired yet, I shouldn’t put so much into not knowing
If I should’ve stayed or gone or who I could’ve let down
Or what I did right or what I did wrong
Carry me on, let me get some rest
I know I said that I’d be alright when you left
But carry me on, let me get some help
It’s hard to admit now, but I can’t do this by myself
