Words & Music by Kira Small (Gerry Bruce Music ASCAP)

The chorus of this song came flying out of me one morning while I was journaling - completely out of nowhere, interrupting the sentence I was writing. I plucked it out and decided to see what it was. I wrote at least one verse on a cocktail napkin while sitting at the bar at Donn's Depot in Austin, probably on a break during my weekly gig there in the mid-90's. Go figure. :)

lyrics

Another day comes to an end
My glass is almost empty, it’s a mirror to my soul
This tired bar won’t save me cuz it’s just too far to go
I thought that maybe my pain would ease before last call
But the spirits here aren’t lifting mine at all

CHORUS:
Everytime I think I’m standing with my feet on solid ground
It washes out from under me as the rain comes pouring down
And I fall down drunk and dirty
Should’ve known I’d find myself down here again
Alone down here again

How did I get so far between
I’m too old to let slide the things I really wish I could
Still too young to know just what to do for my own good
Sitting here beside myself and we’re swirling with the wine
They’re always good ideas at the time

CHORUS

I’m tired of living with this feeling
Like there’s always something just that far behind me
That comes stealing everything I think I know and leaves me reeling

CHORUS
