Sketches (20 Something Life)

Lyrics

Yeah! All I have's a journal that I write Sketches of a twenty-something life Glory pieces shining on a page Boxing nights of disappointing rage Legends never leave an ounce of flesh Colour fades a memory like death I mistook with all the strength I had Words laid down in mornings turning sad Left a window seat for who may pass Long to see a skirt or cotton blouse Inside of a woman's changing room Got invited back, gave opinion too Coloured queen a winter's night in a bath Can you feel this prose tease out a laugh? All I have's this journal that I write Sketches of a twenty-something life Never got to see the mighty sands Settled for a back-row in the stands Many New Year's Eves I spent alone Shaking with a fear while crawling home Digging even deeper down for oil To fuel the fire roaring in my soul Of course I wanted credit when it's due I feel so very blessed to play with you We get over everything, it seems We're wide awake while all around is dream Dig your Autumn taste and marriage needs For half a piece of mind, I'd mind your peace Using every face I'd run into Take a seat and tell me something new All I have's this journal that I write Sketches of a twenty-something life Maybe when I travel left of town I could play the twenty-something down Pretend I've won the lottery and sing Get into the mansion house and Bring, a bottle opened slowly at the door Added to the missing lion's roar Didn't we go looking for the place Where all my inspirations wrote their fates? Telephone kept buzzing on the plane Filming what could never be again All I have's this journal that I write Sketches of a twenty-something life Oh yeah! Sketches of a twenty-something life Sketches of a twenty-something life
