subject: [ig-news] soon be to nothing
[sherlyn's note: this message was originally sent to the indigo
girls mailing list at netspace.org. it's not news and i *think*
it may have been posted here before, but this is a more complete
version so here it is again. this is a new emily song, btw.]
here it is again...w/o the obnoxious interjections...sorry...(cicada: lg,
transparent winged insect that makes rythmic chirping noises...) what's in "
" are my thoughts...
soon be to nothing
"kill" the mountain road, saw the heavy load
with the sagging heart, and they'll break apart
voices, "enemies",
stood as thick as theives
with no sympathy, for the beggars art
i have passed these "(pines/climbs)", 'bout a million times
effortlessly
now i grab the wheel, fear is what i feel
"at the slow unraveling of me..."
chorus:
and you tell me its temporary, just a matter of time
by god, don't you think i know "this" in my mind
and it's right over left , "(healin' / heelin') the vend" (bend?)
i'll soon be to nothing, but i don't know when
well the way i flee, on my crooked feet
"barn" happy horse, on a one track course
i self-despise, crying out my eyes
cause the happy trail, led me to remorse
but the road is long, and the song is gone
i grow empty in my cicada shell
if i saw the choice, i might find my voice
but i don't know when, and i just can't tell...
chorus:
and you tell me it's temporary, in just a matter of time
by god, don't you think i know "what's" in my mind
and it's right over left, healin' the vend
i'll soon be to nothing, but i don't know when
deep behind my face, is a safer place
but the gears are hitched tight to the gate
it's a daily grind, waiting to unwind
till i hear the click that unlocks my fate...
