I wrote the music to these lyrics after Nigel had posted them for review at www.songstuff.com
Lyrics
Talking back to the T.V
Ain’t nobody here but me
It drowns out the ticking clock
Am I stuck on the starting block
Trying to forget a distant dream
It’s like swimming upstream
Hiding from every caller
Don’t know if I can take much more
Trying not to think at all
all I ever do is recall
Blinds closed, phone unplugged
head feels like it’s being drugged
Chorus
At the edge of reality
That’s where my baby’s taken me
On the verge of madness
At the heart of sadness
That’s where she’s taken me
To the edge of reality
Not washing or shaving
Just ranting and raving
Think my head is going to explode
Lost my soul way down the road
When the Devil comes calling
I feel my fences falling
Gotta forget what she’s done
’Cause I am someone’s favourite son
I turned my back on what I knew
Was I to know she’d be untrue
Will I ever trust again
Or maybe that would be insane
Chorus
Nigel Lawry
