Running Around Asking

(альбом: All Of It Was Mine - 2011)

I went running around asking everybody I know
I already asked my mother and the woman who lives next door
I've been running around asking for so long

And I wanted to ask my grandmother, but I couldn't get past the weather
But it was good to sit together on her couch of seafoam green
All her secrets safe without me

And I called up a friend who lives very far away
I took up all her time in asking, but she didn't know what to say
I said I wouldn't keep her and I set down the phone
Whined from the receiver, the muffled dial tone
And you were outside smoking, standing out in the snow
I've been running around asking like I don't already know
