Song For The Weary
copyright 2002 by Bobby Lightfoot/boatsongs/BMI/all rights reserved


It?s never easy
To answer a calling
But it?s harder when that voice just goes away?

And it ain?t easy
To make like it?s no thing
When you feel like you?ve thrown your youth away?

So make it easy on yourself
Just go to sleep and let it end?
Wake up to sunshine and the sound of children
Playing in the parking lot on Lexington?

Because you?ve had enough now-
It?s been a long, lonely road
But there?s light around the bend?

Some pretty young thing
Gonna whisper sweet nothings
Oh, man- you?re gonna love her ?til the end?

So make it easy on yourself
Go back to sleep, it?s just a dream?
Wake up to soft rain and the lovely thunder
Rolling like the eight-oh-five down Market Street?

And don?t forget that even Joan of Arc got burned that time?
And what about the shit they pulled on Jesus Christ?
Well baby you may never get a chance to shine
But maybe you can settle for a feeble glow from time to time?

And make it easy on yourself
Just go to sleep and let it end?
Wake up to laughter, summer ?89-
Making records, making friends and making time?
