lyrics

It makes you want to weep and sigh and hold somebody close
Sometimes nobody’s enough and you settle for a ghost
A shadow’s imitation’s what you end up with at most
so you settle in and wait for it to go

This is not what I wanted/ Not here and not now
But I’m going to get through this/ God help me, somehow

Shadows lay on thick around the windows and their panes
With the water pouring in at the curtains and the drains
A bucket or a can to kick- you’re searching all in vain
So you settle in and wait for it go

It’s not what you wanted/ Not here and not now
But you’re going to get through this/ God help you, somehow

Makes you want to sing and dance, no matter who’s around
Cause you’re out of and on top of whatever held you down
And the will you need to conquer somehow always rebounds
At least you’ve got a day where you’re not sinking, sunk, or drowned and singing

This is not what I wanted/ not here and not now
But I’m going to get through this, God help me somehow

This is not what I wanted/ not here and not now
But I’ve always gotten through this, God help me right now
