Shelflife |
LyricsSHELF LIFE Fred Israel 1999What is the shelf life of a heart? how long a distance can a mind wander? must be a reason in the rhyme when you're gaining speed and losing time? Where is the meeting of the roads? must be down by the reststop for heavy loads when does a seed begin to grow? When does a flower assume its pose? What is the shelf life of a heart holding together when it's all falling apart the clocks approach the hour but do not chime ticking out each rhythm in anticipated time I don't have answers...breathtaking stories.. decisive action knowing no remorse. man seeks woman hands seeking hands hunting for contact on a warrior's wounded horse. Now I've been watching you perform your innocence and charm strong but torn lovers voices vanish in the hills and you've been holding out for what you're holding in --------------------------------------------------- What is the shelf life of a heart? How long must we restrain before we start? How many preachers will it take To recognize the state of things and set the record straight? How many times can you pass by? setting off alarms and controversial smiles Somewhere burning inside these fires I lose myself in you right before my very eyes What is the Shelf life of a heart finding the rhythm in all of these false starts a road to leave alone a road to take a fellow traveler who's also running late. |
