Jeff Black - Cakewalk lyrics

rate me

Cakewalk

traffic is a constant

up and down the avenue

there is a whisper through the window from the wind

and as the shadows make their way across my neighborhood

the afternoon sets in

I am thinking of the woman

who loves to lay in the sun

and on who lately time has pulled a trick or two(

she would be the first to say her work is never done

nothing good comes easy true

I’m a tired old romantic for the good old days

when we survived by feeling closer to the fold

I woke up in a dream I saw your face

I looked up and we were getting older

it’s a cakewalk to the patio

in the distance I can hear the radio

why is it so hard to let things go

god we’ve got too much to carry now

let her lay back and let the sun get hot

bring it on man with all you’ve got

paint these blues over with one good shot

and at the speed of light slow things down

like we’re driving through some little town

now what’s this feeling that you hold on to

it’s hard to push familiar things away

but if we make into something that makes us feel better

then that’s good enough for me today

I want to take this point in time and hold it

up to the light so I can see clear through

I want to shape this into something to ease your mind

now let’s don’t be confused

we don’t ask for much from down here under the gun

maybe that’s been the trouble all along

I want to smile a little more

I want a little less control

I want you to hear this song
