Caveman - Chris Smither

When i was a caveman

painting on the wall

i never had a dollar

but man, i had it all

and i was very high

in the order of things.

Just one step and I’d

spread my wings and fly

Oh, i would fly

Oh, just one step

one step and i could spread

my wings to fly.

When i was a liar

screaming at the wall

i never heard a whisper

i could not hear at all

and i could only cry

for pity of me

never know the truth

might set me free

might set me free

Oh, round we go

and these faces show

they leave and every one

seems ever real

and each one is truly mine

they never last

but at the time

it’s how i feel

each one is truly mine

they never last

but at the time

its how i feel

When i was a dreamer

floating through the wall

nothing was forever

i could change it all

and i could live with

my heart on my sleeve

i could save your soul

i do believe

i do believe

oh, i could save your soul

i could’ve saved your soul

i do believe

i do believe

Then I’ll be an old man

staring at the wall

looking for an answer

to make sense of it all

and i can safely say

that if it comes my way

it will not stay for long

and I’ll be in my way

before it’s gone

before it’s gone

Oh, round we go and

these faces show

they leave and every one

seems ever real

and each one is truly mine

they never last

but at the time it’s how i feel

it’s how i feel

they never last

but at the time it’s how i feel

but when i was a caveman

when i was a caveman

i had it all

i had it all.
