MY OWN SWEET LIFE
in the shallows i will wade today
deep waters drag me down
while the sun is out and the tide is out
i'd like to float around
til the winds begin and my summer skin
starts to peel away
starts to peel away
i'll be slowing down to read the signs
i won't turn my back this time
on my own sweet life
yeah this time i'm gonna live
my own sweet life
and i will watch the fisherman on this salty sea
when they leave 6 fish in hand
they might give one to me
if i stay like them, sit still and then
wait here patiently
what else could come to me
but if i run for love, give myself up
a dust cloud's all i'll see, rising from my feet
i'll be slowing down to read the signs
i won't turn my back this time on my
on my own sweet life
yeah this time i'm gonna live
my own sweet life
