Kris Kristofferson - Feeling Mortal lyrics

rate me

Wide awake I’m feeling mortal

At this moment in the dream

That old man that ran the mirror

In my shakey self esteem

Here today and gone tomorrow

It’s the way it’s gotta be

With an empty blue horizon

For as far as I can see

[Chorus]

God all mighty, here I am

In my where I oughta be

I’ll begin to soon descend

Like the sun into the sea

And I thank my lucky star

From here to eternity

For the artist that you are

And the man you made of me

Pretty speech is still unspoken

Perfect circles in the sand

Rules and promises I’ve broken

That I still don’t understand

Soon or later I’ll be leaving

I’m a winner either way

For the laughter and the loving

That I’m living with today

[Chorus]

God all mighty, here I am

In my where I oughta be

I’ll begin to soon descend

Like the sun into the sea

And I thank my lucky star

From here to eternity

For the artist that you are

And the man you made of me

Wide awake I’m feeling mortal.
