Floating Away

from Down The Bright Stream by Vinny Peculiar

/

lyrics

I gathered up my thoughts and tried to write a song
About a dream I had when I was young
But it sounded like the same old song
I wrote before this one…

Tried to reinvent the past
Get sick to death of doing that
I tried to write about my love
But I got the wrong girl and now I’m all mixed up

I tried to make the words come alive
They were having none of it
I tried to crush them, and hold them down
But I was forced to quit

I didn’t get too far
So I went for drive in the old mans car
I never came back to finish the thing
I lost the map and the wedding ring

Now I don’t feel so great
I guess I’m going stop now I’m going to have to wait
If and when I ever recover
I will write you a love song like no other

But for now this one is all I have
All messy words and missing chords
And sentiments that don’t quite ring true
You deserve better than that of course you do

If the futures made of coal
The past is made of rubber and soul
And the in-between the dream just floats away….

Arrgh…it just floats away
We just float away….
