Squirrels Lyrics

Frustrated and squirrely

I scratch away at this and that

Hither and thither, stumbling forward

Aimlessly following no track

Once there was a way and I believed in it

But oh, now, nothing seems right

I watch mini dust storms swirl up the park

As the squirrels claim dominion over their holes

I'm alone here, I'm alone here

Everything has fallen apart

I piece together, I piece together

A world of summer burnt leaves and fear the approach of summer fires

The present moment reeks of the past

And the past was wrong, oh so wrong

Stumbling, crumbling down to my knees

Begging for the will to surrender

I have not had a drink in seventeen years

And look at me now

I have not had a drink in seventeen years

And look at me now

Look at me now

I miss them all

Mother, sister, friends and daughter

I miss them all, I miss them all

I miss them all, I miss them all

By the unmoving green stream

The squirrels sit up and face the sun

But what about me?

By the unmoving green stream

The squirrels sit up and face the sun

But what about me?

What about me?
