failure she's a new found friend you let her sleep on the floor
when you rise to check out well she follows to the door
if you listen real close there's the audible sigh
if you look real hard you don't question why
cloth of life is torn
cloth of life is fading so much more
yeah it goes without saying
yeah it goes without saying
goes without saying
and all of these distractions and the worship of the buck
somewhere i think we gave out at a club called "the outta-luck"
and it was deeper than the blackness that all the blacktop holds
we're starving for an omen and the spaces they're wide open
cloth of life is something yeah where you begin
cloth of life is something you can wrap yourself in
keep a candle in the window keep a fire on your hearth
keep a prayer on your lips and keep some hope in your heartwhen i feel the morning grass i let down my guard
because love comes from the dirt in my own backyard
everytime i think i've finished being young
i catch myself having fun
but the moment passes as the sun moves on
so i turn myself back to you
on a diamond in the rough i spent my better years
i still see her in the crowd with diamonds in her ears
and it's depressing that i can't forget the tune the organist played
la da da da da da da, la da da da da da da...
everytime i think i've finished being young
i catch myself having fun
but the moment passes as the son moves on
so i turn myself back to you
is our season over?
no four leaf clover
i feel it's getting colder
now that it's late fall
but can you still remember?
april to november
you and i were members
of the best team in baseball
so we play our games
i've got a girlfriend
you've found a new guy
but it's not the same
and so i drive
straight up i-5
to let you know i'm still alive
