Take a bit of me
take a bit of you
mix it up whatcha got?
put it on the ground
let the sun dry it up
let the wind blow it around
what’s left?
not much
maybe enough
hang it on the wall
and stare at it.
Take a bit of me
take a bit of you
put it in a pot
give it some time
stir it around
if it don’t taste right
add a little salt
let it sit.
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Take a bit of me
take a bit of you
leave it in a box
put it away on shelf
take it down on rainy day
sort through what’s left
not much not much not much
just little pieces.
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot
Pick it up whatcha got
not a lot

Sunshine and Rain
04:20

It’s been kind of rough
here at the edge today
sure could use a little sleep
get away from the light the noise and the hustle
my heart is heavy my eyes are raw my head is aching
a little time away from myself
is that the best I can hope for
somewhere to remove myself
lose myself
collect myself in silence?
The wind blows
the wind blows across a drifting tide.
We started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain
we started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain.
Say, do someone who might be carrying something a little stronger?
something to lift me
something to help me carry on
something to keep me from sleeping
because when I sleep I dream
and all I ever dream about is how much better things might have been
had I been a better man
a stronger man.
A line from J.J Cale to keep me from sleeping
and a little tequila to remind me who I am.
The wind blows
the wind blows across a drifting tide.
We started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain
we started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain.
She started out as sunshine
she ended up as rain
as lovers often do
especially the really good ones
those few who get under your skin
the ones who make you crazy
drive you to distraction, dissatisfaction.
Hell, I would give anything to taste her again
just one more time.
Give me another shot of tequila
I don’t want to go to sleep
when I sleep I dream
and all I ever dream about
is how much better things might have been
had I been a different man.
We started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain
we started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain
we started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain
we started out as sunshine
we ended up as rain.
We started out as sunshine.
