The Only Thing to Do

I’ve been travelling, I’ve been thinking I’ve been flying, driving,
training I’ve been reading, I’ve been gazing
I can’t see what I’ve been faking I’m too tired and I’m fading projecting and
forsaking
I’ve been drinking wine I’ve been singing all the time Scared myself half blind
with the shadows in my mind I’ve been running running running I’ve been trying
to make you rhyme But you won’t stand still
So should I hide a broken heart? Or let the world tear me apart again?
They say the gods will have their way Well surely if that’s true,
the only thing to do is love
I’ve asked the tall trees, and the coldest seas I’ve asked the hot dust dragged
from short grass by the summer breeze
All the new sounds felt like old sounds Felt like kisses in a whisper in a rain
of silver birch leaves
I’ve been drinking wine I’ve been playing all the time Danced with strangers on
the run Danced with the shadows in my mind I’ve been writing writing writing
different men in every line But they won’t stand still
So should I hide a broken heart? Or let the world tear me apart again?
They say the gods will have their way Well surely if that’s true,
the only thing to do is
hide a broken heart And let the world tear me apart again They say each dog
will have it’s day Well surely if that’s true, the only thing to do is love
So I’m sending my love back where your days are ending and mine are just
beginning I’m sending my love back to the city Sending my love back to the
hills Sending my love home
There’s nothing keeping me on track except the tree upon my back except the
skyline in my heart With every word so neatly placed with every demon found and
faced should ever lesson be unlearnt?
Or should I hide a broken heart? And let the world tear me apart again?
They say the gods will have their way Well surely if that’s true,
the only thing to do is
hide a broken heart And let the world tear me apart again They say each dog
will have it’s day Well surely if that’s true, the only thing to do is love
