Dave Sills: Music

Why That Is

()
Dave Sills: vocals, acoustic guitar

Night comes in slow - grabs your feet and holds you down
Dreams brush on by like strangers in a crowd
Time marches on - it will trample you under
Leaving you here and leading me to wonder

Why can’t you come out and say what’s on your mind
Don’t leave me guessing or reading between the lines
Between the two of us there’s a gap that exists
And you and I gotta find out why that is

Together but alone - well it seems we soon will crumble
I can not wait for the words on which you stumble
You blurred the lines between truth and fiction
Got me confused with a mess of contradictions

One more spin, one more turn
One more chance to throw it away
That’s all I ask for if this is just a game we play
Between the two of us there’s a gap that exists
And you and I gotta find out why that is

One more spin, one more turn
One more chance to throw it away
That’s all I ask for if this is just a game we play
Between the two of us there’s a gap that exists
And you and I gotta find out why that is
