Feeling Alright

Here I'm sitting in the shade With nothing to hold on to The warm breeze whistling in the wires Remembering towns I passed through Back when the distant music played And dreams were gonna come true Before all that has transpired Before I paid my dues I've got no place to be and I'm not making any plans It's been a long time since I came this close to feeling alright Weathered fronts with flaking paint Signs not speaking like they used to Free from the pull of past desires I watch the shadows of the clouds move In a lazy stillness that contains Every summer of a lost youth And all the laughing and the crying And everything I thought I knew I've got no place to be and I'm not making any plans It's been a long time since I came this close to feeling alright I've got no place to be and I'm not making any plans It's been a long time since I came this close to feeling alright
