Reachin'

(album: Power In The Blood - 2002)

Keep on reaching, yeah
Keep on reaching, yeah
Keep on reaching
Keep on reaching, yeah

When I got burnout so bad in Brixton
That I just couldn't remember my name
You took a lease on some basement down on Josephine Avenue
Till I got better, you forgot how much I changed
I got healed in the heart of the city
Bad medicine was good enough, yeah
Now you beat through my veins like an express train
You're the one hit I never could give up

'Cause you said to me

When you're falling apart again
Nobody to pick up the pieces
I'll turn on the lights and hold your hand tight
And together yeah, we'll keep on reaching

We were holed-up and cold in the rock house
Plastic gangsters, sweet blessed company
I started talking Jackson Pollocks, walking Tony Soprano
You said, "Baby, it's time to leave"
But I left alone, stumbling stoned into the sunrise
Looking left and right for all the wrong connections
Baby, hit me one more time, you can hit me one more time
'Cause I know you'll never let me, never let me go under

'Cause you said to me

When you're falling apart again
Nobody to pick up the pieces
I'll turn on the lights and hold your hand tight
And together yeah, we'll keep on reaching

Just keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
Just keep on reaching

Whenever my soul is in winter
Your summer smile will keep me warm
Autumn leaves falling, I'll keep walking on baby
Till the springtime flowers bloom

'Cause when you're falling apart again
Nobody to pick up the pieces
I'll turn on the lights and hold your hand tight
And together yeah, we'll keep on reaching

Keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
Together we'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
Just keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching
We'll keep on reaching

We'll keep on reaching, yeah
