marty mikles: words & tunes

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

why's it everytime i look around me
things are falling apart left and right
you tell me that your hand is gonna hold me
but, lord, i'm heavy tonight

now i can't balance life upon my shoulders
and i get soaked right to the very core
'cause life is raining, and i got no umbrella
and it'd be nice to be dry just for a while...

tell me that blue skies are comin'
tell me that it ain't gonna rain
tell me that all i need is just some lovin'
to make all this go away... to make all this go away

now, they tell me what won't kill me makes me stronger
well, you'd think that i'd be pretty strong by now
but i don't think i can take this any longer
'specially with that stupid car

i hate thinking things just won't get better
don't you know, i'm an absolute optimist
but can you blame me, things have been so crazy
i blow up, and not without the consequence

wait! what's this i see? a crack in the clouds
you scattered all my gloomy skies away
and i can see clearly now, the rain is gone
and all your blue skies here today
