Lyrics
The Wondering I sometimes wonder As I slip under the covers Of my rock hard east coast mattress Is this coast exactly that? And is the right coast really the right coast? Because the left coast seems like the best coast to me But it’s not as simple as that If it were hell I would’ve turned back It’s my depression that’s got me crippled My mind’s fucked up spinning in circles But as that white light comes to get me I can hear your whisper softly and I know That in my heart I’m like an old man Whose fortune’s come and gone He sits below an oak tree And we think about how life has passed us by so slowly I still think about it Remembering my west coast feather bed I still feel the heartache And I hope that you’ll take that away The second I get home, I hope we can be alone (We’ll take off our clothes) But I guess we’ll see But in my heart I’m like an old man Whose fortune’s come and gone He sits below an oak tree And we think about how life has passed us by so slowly Don’t feel like anybody knows me Except for you and only you We can sit below my oak tree And think about how life has passed us by so slowly
