Do What's Right

(albüm: Birds That Flew And Ships That Sailed - 2022)

I don't want to let go
But I can't hold on much longer
For this feeling won't go
Yeah it's only getting stronger
Well I wish it wasn't true
I wish I could lie to you
Tell you everything's alright
But I don't think I can
'Cause I'm just a man
Trying to do what's right
I'm just trying to do what's right

I don't want to walk away
But I can't stay here much longer
For this feeling won't change
Yeah we're not getting younger
Well I wish it wasn't true
I wish I could lie to you
Tell you everything's alright
But I don't think I can
'Cause I'm just a man
Trying to do what's right
Said I'm just trying to do what's right

You can't stop the fire from blowing out
You can't keep the tide from going out
You can't stop the wolves from scratching at the door

You can't keep the rivers from running
Or hide from the storm that's coming
You can't find love if love ain't there no more

You can't stop the walls from closing in
Or the pain that comes bulldozing in
Or the gravity that pulls you to the floor

You can't feel what you can't feel
You just play the hand they deal
And sometimes you can't do any more
You can't do any more

Well I wish it wasn't true
I wish I could lie to you
Tell you everything's alright
But I don't think I can
'Cause I'm just a man
Trying to do what's right
Just trying to do what's right
