lyrics
The Spinning Of The World[
by Eric Taylor Escudero
So I said baby you´re the best
She said “go with all the rest
There´s nothing here for you, though you really don´t need much
You can go, but will you just keep in touch”
I said “I need sometime alone
I guess i have found a new home
I´ll spend some days there, them i´ll come back and take you
We can live our lives just like we wanted to”
“I´ve spent some thought, I think I´m right
We seem to be two of a kind
And though we´re not, sometimes we seem so far away
From all the faceless crowd that has nothing to say
And she said “Oh, you´re such a fool”
“But I´m so much like you”
I write songs but i can´t sing
And I guess I was just being mean
When I said the things that i just said to you
I wasn´t serious and most of them weren´t true
You know once i was someone
This introspective writer kind
But now i just write all this names on the walls
Hoping for the day this land will finally fall
And I write “Oh, you´re all so wrong”
“And I just though you should know”
I´ve never really gone too far
I´ve never really tried too hard
All the days they just passed flying through my eyes
And in my apathy you see the marks of time
I´ll try to hold the winter back
I know some people who´ve done that
And for all days I will be following their steps
If you decided to be, you should be the best
But snow falls down eventually
And turns white all the things you see
And If the spinning of the world has left you sick
It´s spinning faster everyday, be sure of it
We all die so young.
