The Doldrums - Josh Pyke

I couldn’t tell you why

I’m never feeling satisfied

But every time the sun don’t shine

It makes me want to run and hide

From the songs in my head

Here comes the rain again

She’s coming for to break the drought

But she’s such a cloudy friend

And she’s bringing forth the shadow of doubt

Ain’t it funny how, when you think

That you’ve got it all figured out

That these things sometimes

Seem organised well in advance of me

Or the callings of my heart

So we hit the doldrums now

Sails hanging loose on the lines

And we couldn’t sink or swim

Just praying for a merciful tide

With this song 'round my neck

Lull of the afternoon

And we’ve grown numb to the feel

So set navigation true

Then i rope myself to the wheel

On this dried out sea, when you go

Well you go, you go, you go

And these things sometimes seem

Seem organised well in advance of me

Or the callings of my heart

And i do believe that fatalism is complacency

When you float your fears too far

But the moment that i take my leave

I’m back up out that door

So I can never rest assured

In the callings of my heart

I couldn’t tell you why

I’m never feeling satisfied

But every time the sun don’t shine

It makes me want to run and hide

From the songs

I couldn’t tell you why

I’m never feeling satisfied

But every time the sun don’t shine

It makes me want to run and hide

Around my neck
