I hid the bottle
But a working man can always
Buy another
What's a game of hide and seek
To an older brother
Trying to cover up a drinking
Problem
Tries to tell me
That he's got a handle on it
But he burns the candle
At both ends
He holds it
Upside down
To balance out this
Feeling
Father I
Know it's important to you
That Cherry County News stay in print
But how long must
I earn my keep here
'Til you're
Back on your
Feet like you
Said you'd be last year
Close but still worn to a sigh
The surface
Of the Earth is
As dead as the moon is
And I'm telling you
It's all for the best
'Cause we need some time
To reassess
Some things
Are better left
I think
Unsaid
As you doubtless have inferred
It leaves
A fella in a helluva spot when
He doesn't have
Someone or something
To blame
For this eternal
Chip he's always
Carried upon his
Shoulders
Did old man winter
Snow the blue room in again
I took a fall
From the heights
Of the tallest
Shelf I could find
To crawl up
And decided to
Bite into
Decorative fruit
That I knew
Grew beyond
At the top
Of the mountain
So don't look down on me
Just be proud that I
Finally found you
The child is father to
The man who has his faults
But don't we all
Hair of the dog again
Tearing my pa to shreds
I could
Stick around and
Help an
Angel get his wings
Bury me in this town
Along with my
Dreams
My dreams
My dreams
My dreams
Were just dreams
Anyway
Circle 'round in
Adoration
Circle 'round
Your Lord
There were times when
I was broken
Brought my knees
To your floor
And I said
Cry out
Oh Zion
Cry out
To your Lord
Cry out
Oh Zion
Circle 'round in
Adoration
Circle 'round
Your Lord
