lyrics

I’m gonna lose you, you can call it what you want to
But I can feel your spirit, I can feel it pulling away
I’m looking through you, you don’t love me like you used to
I can feel your spirit, I can feel it pulling away

I’ve been to town, I’ve been around for so many years now
You can’t get it by me, you can’t get it by me

You can use affection as a misdirection
But I can read the compass, we’re southbound heading for the pole
And when the levee breaks down, whose side are you gonna take now
Will you blame the river or are you gonna blame the hole

I’ve been to town, I’ve been around for so many years now
You can’t get it by me, so don’t even try me

And when the flood has all but let me drown
And the water that I tread is well over my head
You’ll watch me sinking down

Yeah I’ve been to town, I’ve been around for so many years now
You can’t get it by me, you can’t get it by me
