Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-six years old and I'm feeling all alone Though I'm surrounded by good people all the time I run like I'm on fire, though my knees are getting tired And my body keeps reminding me to slow I preach what's on my mind, in my heart, and my dream time But don't be fooled, not pretending I know Life keeps rolling by and all we can do is try And send out love, even when it hits a stone [Chorus] Close my eyes and see Face is staring back at me Your smiles make me vulnerable Make me feel weak at the knees And if I was a tree You'd be the gentle breeze And we'd sway with the morning birds Watch the sun rise in the east Completely free [Verse 2] Phoenix, Arizona, the pavement is on fire And a man just died before my eyes The meth has taken hold of so many poor young souls And they're buzzing around these streets like flies In each city that we roll, seems to be the way things go Kinda like a spectacle for traveling eyes Old woman in a tent spreading jam on a piece of bread Living amongst it, just somehow left behind [Chorus] And I close my eyes and see Your face is staring back at me And your smiles make me vulnerable Make me feel weak at the knees And if I was a tree You'd be the gentle breeze And we'd sway with the morning birds Watch the sun rise in the east Completely free [Verse 3] Inside, I'm still a boy, still fumbling the ball Still reaching for the safest place I know Overwhelmed by all the pain I see in the world today Making sense of nonsense every day When I hold those little hands, makes me feel like I'm a man Makes me vulnerable and fragile all the same Departure from my grief, that little place where I feel free My little island, oasis in the sea [Chorus] And I close my eyes and see Face is staring back at me And your smiles make me vulnerable Make me feel weak at the knees And if I was a tree Then you'd be the gentle breeze And we'd sway with the morning birds Watch the sun rise in the east Completely free
