Great Lake Swimmers - Moving, Shaking Lyrics
I can’t write, I can’t sing, I can’t playMy insides have been brokenMy inspiration has flown awayAnd it’s hard to see all the little thingsThere’s a universe in a crack in the wallOr an ant crawling across a broken tileBut it’s hard to see all the little thingsWhen the big things get in the wayI can’t eat, I can’t sleep, I can’t think straightI did not know it could be like thisSome things are better off being left aloneThere are things that are best left unknownOh hands, don’t fail me nowThey’re the only things I have leftOh fingers, don’t let me down nowThey’re the only things that I’ve gotOh world come, come crashing down nowOh hands don’t fail me nowOh let me become deaf and mute to thisOh hands don’t fail me nowI’m carrying my life in a cardboard boxI carry a bag on my backI’m carrying my life in a cardboard boxI carry a bag on my backOh hands, don’t fail me nowThey’re the only things that I’ve gotOh fingers, don’t let me down nowOh hands don’t fail me nowOh elbows fall down around meOh hands don’t fail me nowOh fingers don’t let me down nowOh hands don’t fail me now
