lyrics

It’s a strange kinda dreamin’, there’s a girl in my head, and she’s tellin’ me what to do
She says I gotta wake up, pulls my head from the sand, it’s time to be a man, not a fool

But the rain falls, .. the phone calls, and my thread unwinds, and I hold my hands to the sky
And I sit and I watch and I wait, I put my mind to it all, and I sing my twelve bore blues

It’s an odd kinda feelin’, that girl’s here again, she keeps tellin’ me more to do
She says I gotta grow some, take my life in my hands, I know what she says, it’s all true

I call this great adventure, my perfect world, if only that were true
It’s no small thing I grind my, perfect mind
Pour me another one, you can pour me another one

I call this dream I hide in, my ideal life, and I know what to do
One day soon I’ll find the, perfect time
Pour me another one, call me a cab again

And I would swap the next ten years to jump back twenty, with the knowledge I have now, well I have no regrets, maybe just one or two

Somewhere in every nation, there's a voice in the crowd, and it's telling you what to do,
Take the whole congregation and the whole of your life, deep down you know that it’s you

And the rain falls, the phone calls, and I talk this time, then I hold my hands to the sky
And I sit and I watch and I wait, I put my mind to it all, and I sing my twelve bore blues

I call this great adventure my perfect girl, (yes) she tells me what to do
Even when I go to ground or fall down
She pours me another one, She pours me another one, She gets in my head again, Call me that damn cab again,

And I would swap the next ten years to jump back twenty, with the knowledge I have now. I have no regrets, well maybe just two

See me run, see me hide, catch me when I fall
Watch me wake, watch me sleep, catch me when I fall
