Greetings From The Side

i run along the rocks of the river 
and the water is as cold as the snow 
the man is chasing behind me 
and i can’t afford to falter or slow 
i find solace in what we believe 
or the hush of a cold gentle rain 
but there’s something we love in the mystery 
of a man in the midst of a change 


she laughed and said i was going nowhere 
cause there’s nowhere that she’s ever been 
when i get to that place, she’ll remember my face 
and say hey man i knew him when, he was younger 
but she never loved me at all
she laughed when i was in pain 
cause there’s something we’re all frightened of, a man in the midst of the change 


out on the roof to inquire of the sky, the existence of ghosts in my life 
whose to blame you or i 
no one would answer me, they just stared at the weight of the world 
and pretend not to feel 


the wingman is poised for the battle 
but the fool understands not the game 
he believes in his mission 
predestined position amazing the grace of her name 
oh he loves her now as he loved her then 
wasting time he remembers the days 
and i whistled and sat waiting patiently for the man in the midst of a change 


out on the roof to inquire of the sky, the existence of ghosts in my life 
whose to blame you or i 
no one would answer me, they just stared at the weight of the world 
and pretend not to feel 


running along the rocks of the river 
with the freedom to step where i choose
though i can stop to rest, i like traveling best 
when the sides got nothing to lose from it 


i find solace in all the extremes 
in pleasure as well as in pain 
i just wish you’d let me explain to you 
a man in the midst of a change
