Takin' my time
Choosin' my lines
Tryin' to decide what to do
Looks like my stop
Don't wanna get off
Got myself hung up on you

Seems to me
You don't want to talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

Places I've known
Things that I'm growin'
Won't taste the same without you
I got myself in
The worst mess I've been
And I find myself startin' to doubt you

Seems to me
We talk all night, here comes the morning
Seems to me
You just forget what we said and greet the day

Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away

I've got to cool myself down
Stompin' around
Thinkin' some words I can't name ya
Meet you halfway
I got nothin' to say
Still I don't s'pose I can blame ya

Seems to me
You don't wanna talk about it
Seems to me
You just turn your pretty head and walk away
Walk away

Can't think of any reason
Don't know exactly why
Must be it's out of season
Give it another try

I'm out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so
Waitin' around to fall

Some things are left unspoken
Some things are handed down
The circle stands unbroken
Sendin' it back around

I've seen you roll in clover
Dressed for a scarecrow wall
Too bad the dance is over
Nothin' to show at all

Can't help but feel uncertain
Knowing which way to turn
They want to raise the curtain
And you're holdin' the words to learn

I'm out here in the meadow
Part of an old stone wall
Stand here because he said so
Waitin' around to fall

Spent the last year Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn't get much higher
Out to pasture, think it's safe to say
Time to open fire

And we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
'Cause the Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had

Well he's tellin' us this, and he's tellin' us that
Changes it every day
Says it doesn't matter
Bases are loaded and Casey's at bat
Playin' it play by play
Time to change the batter

And we don't need the ladies
Cryin' 'cause the story's sad
Rocky Mountain way
Is better than the way we had
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Goin' through the motions, tryin' not to snore
Didn't know the gun was loaded
Rowin' through the ocean, caught without an oar
Someone said they've all been broken

Time out, save the play
Try to make the lie last any old way you can
Signed out, all the way
When you speak your mind out, never say what you plan

Found her in the hallway, bangin' on the door
Askin' what the funny smell was
Wake you up to tell you, "It's okay to sleep some more
By the way, is there any you can sell us?"

So the case is gettin' hotter, bleed you 'til you're dry
"Stick 'em up, you just been busted!"
Your basement's full of water, forgot about the tide
Hope to God the pump ain't rusted

Signed out, all the way
When you speak your mind out, never say what you plan
Time out, save the play
Try to make the lie last any old way you can

Somewhere along the way I found the meaning
Woke up dreaming along the way
Never quite seems the same when you awaken
And makin' up for the time is such a price to pay
And then they take the dream away
And it just ain't fair

So help me through the night, mama
Help me to ease the pain
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night once again

That's the danger in pretending
Tryin' to defend yourself from someone else's war
Don't know what they're fighting for
And they just don't care

So help me to see the light, mama
Open my eyes again
And tell me it's alright
Help me through the night once again

Would you help me?
Could you help me?

Hey, now, the well's run dry
Pages of your book on fire
Read the writing on the wall
Hoe down, it's a showdown
Everywhere you look we're fighting, hear the call
And you know it's gettin' stronger
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone

Well, there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feeling and I don't know why
It's takin' such a long time

Backyard people and they work all day
Tired of the speeches
And the way that the reasons keep changin'
Just to make the words rhyme

And you know it's getting stronger
Can't fake 'em out much longer
Turn to stone

And you know it's getting stronger
It can't last very much longer
Turn to stone
