Shed Song - Tim Barry

I sleep best with the rain upon this shed

Still counting miles, but I’m not sure

How many good ones I’ve got left

In some ways I know that I should settle down

But it ain’t in me right now, so I’ll keep on moving slow

And keep looking all around

A mind don’t turn with feet nailed to the floor

Keep a pounding heart full of love for all

Turn no one away but keep close what’s yours

Man, life ain’t half bad here but it sure as hell ain’t ideal

Can’t sort what’s been gained to what’s been stole

Or how hours can add up to all these years

Morning’s best when health’s leaning on my side

Have some coffee, get on a walk for some air

Just to clear my mind

Come afternoon, although I’m tired and drained

I get my work done without a sound and wonder if it’s even

Worth the pay

By nightfall when I’m all alone and can hardly move

I can’t call it common sense, but I fight to not drink

And fight to plan my next move

I shouldn’t be this tired yet, I shouldn’t put so much into not knowing

If I should’ve stayed or gone or who I could’ve let down

Or what I did right or what I did wrong

Carry me on, let me get some rest

I know I said that I’d be alright when you left

But carry me on, let me get some help

It’s hard to admit now, but I can’t do this by myself
