Janiva Magness - Ragged Company lyrics

rate me

Oh lord, I think I've fallen, to my disbelieve

I'm cursing like a sailor, I'm lying like a thief

It's hard to heed the calling, from the bitter side of me

I'm blaming everybody else and no one coming clean

Oh lord, can't you see, my thick skin wearing thin?

The demons of the lesser me, are backing me in

And those who gather around me, I'm watching them all leave

Cause I am my own ragged, company

So you could take a trip to China

Take a boat to Spain

Take a blue canoe all around the world

And never come back again

But travel it don't change a thing

It only make it worse

Unless the trip you're taking is to change the crew ...

Cause every town got a mirror, every mirror still shows me

That I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company

Won't you help me lord, won't you help me lord?

Someone cut the chord and I'm falling down

[Instrumentals]

Oh it's lonely, in all this mighty cold

I don't wanna live this way, I'm scared of growing old

It's hard to heed the warning, when you cannot see the crime

The only way to remember is to forget in a ...

I'm scared to thread the red road, that leads to Galilea

Cause I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company

I am my own ragged company!

I am my own ragged company.
