Lyrics
Take my solitude and form it into clay
The form it takes is never exactly what I want to say
Throw it very close to center, turn the wheel on
Take my words and spin them slowly to the ground
What I say is never exactly how I want to sound
Hang my dreams upon a hook and hope they stay there
If I never stopped to think, imagine my bright life
I always find reason to cry
Take my head and drop it softly in my hands
Cast my feelings from the fire into the frying pan
Is there life beyond the muse of a fool's reflection?
But, if I have the chance to have you share in my bright life
Why do I stand by?
