Little Relief

LITTLE RELIEF

You were running so fast trying to catch your breath

When the heat of the moment got the better of you

Left you dragging on a cigarette

So you cut it right down, turned all the love around

But when the boat starts sinking it’s too late for thinking

So you settle into going down

And it’s a far way to fall when you feel you got nothing at all

But I’ll be waiting at the bottom as a friend and little relief

And if you cast your net too far out of reach you lose who you are

I’ll be waiting at the bottom as a friend and a little relief

You want to cross that line, want to leave the world behind

One moment you’re the wind howling round the bend

The next your just killing time

Try to make it all last, soak it up with a big old rag

Ringing out each moment as it slips away without ever looking back

Who says we only get one, one chance to get ‘er all done

To move among the stars, talk **** in bars, trying to make something last

To move among the stars, talk **** in bars, trying to make something last

And that’s the way of the world

Give a little take a little knowing it’ll never rain gold

And that’s the way of the world

Give a little take a little waiting for something to hold

Give a little take a little waiting for something to hold

So you’re gonna go slow, try and lighten that heavy load

It’s been following you around, weighing you down and you just gotta let it go

I’ll be waiting in the dark, to brighten the corners of your broken heart

So if you ever start again you’ll reach the end you envisioned from the very start

If you ever start again you’ll reach the end you envisioned from the very start

And it’s a far way to fall when you feel you got nothing at all

But I’ll be waiting at the bottom as a friend and little relief

And if you cast your net too far out of reach you lose who you are

I’ll be waiting at the bottom as a friend and a little relief
