Powder Dry Lyrics

A little bit of rain never hurt no one

I once heard a drowning man say

Still there’s this long gone, familiar feeling

Wishing to be somewhere else

I happen to know there’s a different wind

That blows in the desert, in the pines

Want to go out, I want to feel it

Ever since it entered my mind

I asked you for matches

You come along with water

You’re pouring buckets all over my fire

While I’m trying hard to keep my powder dry

Does it feel like riding a freight train

Waiting to derail

I don’t know, it’s in my head

Or is it like a dog tied to a chain

Waiting to turn loose?

Maybe it’s just the temptation of thinking

Of having anything to choose

I believe in the blessings of a place to call home

I think you all know the way it goes

But still I have this restless kind of yearning

To find out where the river flows

I asked you for matches

You come along with water

You’re pouring buckets all over my fire

While I’m trying hard to keep my powder dry
