Lyrics for The Swing of Things - Demo #1
You say the world's an eventful place You give me news I don't want to know You say that I should care That I should speak in my mind Oh, but how can I speak of the world rushing by With a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes Oh, have we come to the point of no turning back Or is it still time to get into the swing of things? Let us walk through this windless city I'll go on 'til the winter gets me Oh, sleep you wrote, "Sleep, my dear" In a letter somewhere Oh, but how can I sleep with your voice in my head And an ocean between us and room in my bed Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip Or is it still time to get into the swing of things? Oh, when she glows in the dark, and I'm weak by the sight Of this breathtaking beauty in which I can hide Oh, there's a world full out there of people I fear But given time, I'll get into the swing of things Yes, when she glows in the dark, and I'm struck by the sight I know that I'll need this for the rest of my life I know that I'll need this for the rest of my life What have I done? What lies I have told? I've played games with the ones that rescued my soul Oh, have I come to the point where I'm losing the grip Or is it still time to get into the swing of things?
