The Only Thing to Do

I've been travelling,
 I've been thinking I've been flying, driving,
 training I've been reading, I've been gazing
 I can't see what I've been faking I'm too
 tired and I'm fading projecting and forsaking
 I've been drinking wine I've been singing all the time Scared myself
 half blind with the shadows in my mind I've been running running
 running I've been trying to make you rhyme But you won't stand still
 So should I hide a broken heart?
 Or let the world tear me apart again?
 They say the gods will have their way Well
 surely if that's true, the only thing to do is love
 I've asked the tall trees,
 and the coldest seas I've asked the hot dust
 dragged from short grass by the summer breeze
 All the new sounds felt like old sounds Felt like
 kisses in a whisper in a rain of silver birch leaves
 I've been drinking wine I've been playing all the time Danced with
 strangers on the run Danced with the shadows in my mind I've been
 writing writing writing different men
 in every line But they won't stand still
 So should I hide a broken heart?
 Or let the world tear me apart again?
 They say the gods will have their way Well
 surely if that's true, the only thing to do is
 Hide a broken heart And let the world tear me apart again They say
 each dog will have it's day Well surely
 if that's true, the only thing to do is love
 So I'm sending my love back where your days are ending and mine are
 just beginning I'm sending my love back to the city
 Sending my love back to the hills Sending my love home
 There's nothing keeping me on track except the tree upon my back
 except the skyline in my heart With every word so neatly placed
 with every demon found and faced should ever lesson be unlearnt?
 Or should I hide a broken heart?
 And let the world tear me apart again?
 They say the gods will have their way Well
 surely if that's true, the only thing to do is
 Hide a broken heart And let the world tear me apart again They say
 each dog will have it's day Well surely
 if that's true, the only thing to do is love
