Help Me Forget - The Jayhawks

I read the morning paper

desolation, pages full of hate, and I find

Find my fingers shaking

Centuries of enemies, tangled claims from different sides

We ain’t getting any younger

Let’s not waste more time

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile

There’s an endless chain

Of senseless retribution, long for days of innocence

Seas from days forgotten

Drown the voice of reason, shouts of blind intolerance

We ain’t getting any younger

Let’s not waste more time

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile

There’s no use in hiding

What can not sympathy

But for one brief moment

Help me to remember the simple cares of yesterday

We ain’t getting any younger

Let’s not waste more time

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile

Help me forget this world for awhile
