ANYHOW Lyrics

I told myself once I was too good for this life

Still I shopped for a dream and I found me a wife

Night swallows day, and the day swallows clowns

I must be drawing this smile while I'm standing upside down

Is there anyone around

Is there anyone around

Is there anybody there who feels the chill inside the air

Maybe the master of despair, or the girl who cuts your hair

Maybe the beggar on the street, who keeps trying to compete

With the fireman's empty boot, that keeps sucking up the loot

That used to buy a meal

I remember when I first heard Mister Dylan ask the children

How does it feel

I wonder what they're feeling now

Anyhow

I can balance the checkbook and the puzzles I can't solve

I can balance the mortgage and the way debts revolve

I can cling to the branches of the trees I have climbed

Watch them all lose their leaves like an old man going blind

Is there something here to find

Is there something here to find

Is there anybody left who thinks that life comes after death

Perhaps a savior drying out in a clinic full of doubt

Perhaps the prostitute next door who swears she's not a whore

While the neighbors whisper low, about the love she used to know

And the love she that she can't steal

I remember when I first heart Mister Dylan ask the children

How does it feel

I wonder what they're feeling now

Anyhow
