about

Leaving carefree youth behind does have its compensations.

lyrics

Time to re-think the self image again
boyfriend to husband to daddy and then
the babies to boys and the boys into men
We’ll watch it all spiral away
Heart tries to grasp what the hand can’t control
I’ll take this confusion deep into my soul
then I crawl to Newcastle with a sack-full of coal
and watch it all spiral away

Three times I call your name
Fourth time you hear me
Come confusion can’t complain
I love you dearly

Shadows appear when you walk in the light
You find out what’s wrong just by doing what’s right
It seems kind of pointless but still we all fight
To watch it all spiral away
Yes I have loved you, yes I have lost
Yes I have wished that our paths never crossed
But I will stay with you whatever the cost
and watch it all spiral away

Three times I call your name
Fourth time you hear me
Come confusion can’t complain
I love you dearly

Beaten and hurt and abandoned until
You swear it’s the last time life gets you, but still
You’re rolling that boulder right back up the hill
to watch it all spiral away
Look for the truth but the truth doesn’t tell
You’re still where you landed the last time you fell
But people with answers are boring as hell
So watch it all spiral away.
