lyrics

Its Alright, But It's Not My Mind
Lyrics by Chris Baron
(orig) Dec 2009
©ChrisBaronMusic2014

When I sink below the ground where I was born, the refuge is a dream
And its alright…but its not my mind
A day adrift, a day delayed, I interrupt the stream
Its alright, but its not my mind
Its alright, but its not my time

I temporarily believe the shift will wait for me
Its alright, but its not my mind
A leisurely dependence on a likely mystery
Its alright, but its not my mind
Its time, to take what’s mine

Retreating when I need direction
Living alone takes more devotion

I swing beneath the fireplace in memories of old escapes
And its alright, but its not my mind
I deign to breathe another day, despite the failure of yesterday
To clean, and become light
Believe and purify

The city I have lived within, I have never surrendered to the wind
and its true, I lived for you
I take a dip in the river
But the journey ends at my shore
Its alright, but its not my mind
