Feather

I've been travelin', flyin' on south again

How, how could it be?

It seems as though a moment ago

I was reapin' the seeds that I sowed

The mornin' blows quickly through, afternoon follows suit

How am I to get these things done?

Well time stays when counted by the days

Illuminin' all in its shade

Worry been breakin' in, bringin' me down

And countin' all the times that I fall

When my time comes

I won't be countin' at all

I feel all my filth when I look in your eyes

But it falls light as a feather on my back in the night

Me and you said meet me there, how do I get from here

To where, where I belong?

It ain't just like findin' a sign to get home

It's buildin' your house on the storm

Worry been breakin' in, bringin' me down

And countin' all the times that I fall

When my time comes

I won't be countin' at all

I feel all my filth when I look in your eyes

But it falls light as a feather on my back in the night

Your house, it will cover you, but the rain still falls outside

Your light, it don't shine 'cause it's hidden under a bed

Why do you hide under a bed?
