lyrics

There’s a ton of things that happen in a day
That you could write a song about
So why be blocked just stack them up and knock them down
Says the grandfather on my father’s side
While the gloss of love filmed over his eyes

I sang another tune in the afternoon
Me and him in his living room
It’s a shame that I can’t take his advice
Staring blank page blank face like I forget how to write

But I could disappear
Sleep for a whole year
Grow into my fear
Cut off my left ear

But who would write my songs

There’s a dozen things that happen in a day
That you could beat yourself about
But why be cross just stack them up and knock them down
Says the grandfather on my son’s father’s side
While the gloss of love filmed over his eyes
He sang another tune to the midnight moon
All alone in his living room
It’s a sin the way people waste away their lives
There ain’t a single thing you can take when you die

But who would write my songs
Who would kiss my girl
Who would feed my dog
Who would pay my bills
Who would test the water
Who would be the loving man
