Lyrics

I had words and I wrote 'em down but now I can't recall what they went on about
Something new and something fresh but now I find I can't evoke the rest
At the time they meant something strong they were crafty, hard-hitting but now they're gone
They driftin' far away, they kinda ringin' hollow now

My words were gonna change the globe but somehow they go mired after starting slow
I wrote 'em down but now they die away to some obscure far off forgotten place
They driftin' far away, they kinda ringin' hollow now

Words reveal my soul lay it bare for you to see
Words scrawled on the page make it fair for you to judge me

I wrote words when my heart was hot but now I can't know if they were sincere or not
They felt so critical at the time but now I wonder I'd said anything to make 'em rhyme
They driftin' far away, they kinda ringin' hollow now
