Lyrics
Sometimes Not
Is it this cold empty bed
I toss and turn in all night
Or a cruel winter wind instead
Chills me in moonlight
Thought I knew the difference
Between what I want and what I've got
Sometimes I know but sometimes not
Is it the hot sun that blinds
On this bright new shiny day
Or a stinging in my eyes
From those dreams that blew away
Thought I knew the difference
Between what I've sold and what I've bought
Sometimes I know but sometimes not
On any given day
I'd be the first to say
Life is only what we make it
Now I find that hard to admit
Is it age that makes me ask
What have I done with my life
Or the time that slips my grasp
Or one last chance that might
Thought I knew the difference
Between what I've learned and what I've taught
Most times I know but sometimes not
Sometimes I know but sometimes not
Sometimes I know but sometimes not
Sometimes I know but sometimes not
