Lyrics

This Life

I take my inquisitions from the stars above
I don't need nobody to remind me of
how I've traveled far and wide
to find my way to this side

I rely on the money for a dollar turned
for my love you know is hard earned
and it takes a little time
but I know that it's worth every dime

so I get back behind the steel and maze
and fight my way back through this dreamy haze
it's a fog that thunders round
but it never quite shakes the ground
on which we stand
and it's time for me to lend a hand
to a friend that's known enough to fall and
not survive the call

could it be the things in life I
long to see, are adrift
but always really meant to be
like a double bladed knife that
cuts its way to both sides
of this life

Like the mellow, 60's feel. Great vocal approach and instrumentation.

2 part harmony is soothing and I can easily hear this piece in a movie somehow, somewhere...

Nice feel, good blend of the vocals. Would be nice to see live.
