In My Way, Yes - Vic Chesnutt

Do you think it makes a difference?

I say yes

Taking my time

Working on lines

Fingers in clay

Everyday

Head in the clouds

Moving my mouth

Spreading the grout

That’s holding it down

Do you think it makes a difference?

I say yes in my life yes

Cuddling up

Declarations of love

Squeeze and a hug

A kiss and a rub

Faces opposed

Eyelids closed

Nuzzling nose

Like eskimos

Don’t’cha' feel silly?

I say no with my love no

I never ever thought

I’d ever have a life like this

I never dreamed

I’d be alive

I never considered

Such as these surroundings

Effectually pulling it off

Watching the cops go by

Seeing a falcon fly

Reading a history book

Wetting a tiny hook

Driving fast all night

Bursting into song at first light

Sharing breakfast from one plate

Holding hands over loved ones graves

Do you think you deserve it

I say yes in my way yes
