Life And Times - Galactic Cowboys

Everyone makes choices

But I can’t say which is right

And everyone makes promises

And only meant to lie

And I don’t know what to do

And I don’t know just what to say anymore

This is my life and times

Lying down in darkness

With my ear against the door

I closed my eyes and caught

A fleeting glimpse and wanted more

Of the life that struck my soul

With feelings too great to ignore

But this is my life and times

The seconds turn to days

And now I’m older

And I know it’s time for me to start anew

But I buckle from the weight

That’s on my shoulders

And I need someone to help me through

Daddy couldn’t speak to me

Before he ceased to live

Although he held his hands to me

My eyes could not forgive

All the pain that they had seen

And hoped my mind would not relive

But this is my life and times
