Eric Erskine / November Lyrics

November Lyrics

Walking a Straightline

I get so nervous walking the straightline
Cause there's no way to make that turn
I'm always worried about my blind side
One wrong move I'm bound to get burned

It seems to me this path I chose
ain't very clear
All my dreams and hopes
are paved with many fears

Walkin a straightline
I'm walking a straightline

Not much risk in walkin the straightline
I don't take chances along the way
I'm only sacrificing prime time
I'll take my chances another day

Walkin a straightline
I'm walking a straightline

One of these days I'm gonna breakout
From this cage
And leave this town behind
Watch the lights slowly fade

I get so tired walking the straightline
Cause there's no way to make that turn
I'm always watchin for my blind side
One wrong move I'm bound to get burned

Feels Like Rain

As I searched for light in the darkness
I stumbled across some truth
What used to be so damn important
Was nothing but restless youth
It's funny how when you're twenty-one
You think you know it all
They set you up to conquer the world
Just as they watch you fall

For just one moment you believe
The truth will always set you free

And it feels like rain
Watchin the clouds roll down on me
And it feels like rain
So this is how it's supposed to be
I'm caught in the game
It feels like rain

Endless answers to too many questions
Tumble inside my head
And sometimes what I really think
Is better left unsaid

And it feels like rain
Watchin the clouds roll down on me
And it feels like rain
So this is how it's supposed to be
I'm caught in the game
It feels like rain

Isn't It Time

Isn't it time we fall in love again
Isn't time we do the things we said we'd do
Isn't it time to run and hide my friend
Wasting time is nothing new

Isn't it time we build a bridge
Before will build another wall
Isn't it time we start to give
Isn't it time isn't time

Isn't it time we held each other close
Isn't it time we dance the way we use to do
Isn't it time we gave our hearts the most
we're out of time its overdue

I've been thinking about the years my friend
And time marches right on through
And all that matters in the end
Is I'm looking right at you

Isn't it time we build a bridge
Before will build another wall
Isn't it time we start to give
Isn't it time isn't time

Drifting Away

So many times I have tried
Turning tears into wine
Chasing shadows I'll never find
Trying to leave the past behind

From behind this line
I've been wasting time

Drifting away
Drifting away

I dreamed I found something more
But the past came beating on our door
With flames too high to ignore
The ashes scattered on the floor
From behind this rhyme
I've been wasting time

If I seek shelter from this cold
And let my demons go

Drifting away
Drifting away

The Ballad Of Martha Brown

She keeps a picture by her bed
To remind her how she used to be
The mirror on the wall won't tell the truth
It can't tell of all your memories
Locked down deep inside a lifetime
Full of treasures that no one could steal
She still feels her husband's touch
Even though he's been gone for years

Where did the time go
No one ever knows

Martha Brown sits in her chair and
Hears her childrens' voices calling her
Martha Brown watches the rain falling down
And it sounds like laughter
To Martha Brown

She stares across the kitchen table
As the sun rises on her face
The days go by in blurs the months and years
The hallway clock won't keep the pace
Her children's children have moved on
The family's roots have grown and spread so far
Who'd a thought a simple act of love
Could change and shape the way things are

Martha Brown sits in her chair and
Hears her childrens' voices calling her
Martha Brown watches the rain falling down
And it sounds like laughter
To Martha Brown
