Making Amends

(album: Something To Listen To - 1995)

Got these new shoes and I don't want to walk on water just yet
Still trying to keep my, keep my soul dry but it ain't easy
I still got this old coat but the ind don't sympathize
It slips right through, makes itself comfortable on my bones
but Sarah, she's a blanket, that covers up my heart. she don't let the cold outside get in
She's got stars up on the ceiling that give her piece of mind tonight
Clear away the distance
It's easier to walk alone, the farther I get away, the closer I get to home
Got these memories but I don't want to cash them in just yet
Living on the interest and the promises I've got tucked away
But it ain't easy waiting for tomorrow when as of yesterday it's here today
But we can come on out and fake it and can cover up our hearts
Don't let this world outside get in
We can stare up at the ceiling trying to find piece of mind tonight
Clear away the distance, it's easier to walk alone, the closer I am to you, the farther I am from home
Well I've walked a little while and the wear is starting to show
Travel down on roads past places I used to know
I still got this old coat but you know I really don't mind
As I slip right in, make myself comfortable, make myself at home
