Softly to Myself

I'm hushing the dog on the chain

I'm lining up stones on the edge of the bank

Rally the troops for another refrain

I sing this softly to myself

I sing this softly to myself

I'm buried beneath the sand

There's no way to speak or reach out my hand

Watching the paper slowly unfold

Bracing for news that I can't bear to hold

While I'm singing this song to myself

I sing this softly to myself

Tore up my jeans on the fence

This iron road, I cannot bend

But my walking is light when I walk with a friend

I sing this softly to myself

I sing this softly to myself

I'm waking up early again

Sitting alone and listening in

There is no separation from you in the end

I sing this softly to myself

I sing this softly to myself
