Naked
from The Given by Colin Vearncombe
lyrics
You might say I'm wastin'
My time is going, gone
I'm only hesitating, between the bouts of holding on
But I am war in the places that used to be cold
I kept all the things that others sold
Going naked again
You might say I'm fadin'
The grace notes of a song
A tune that's going nowhere, but where the other tunes have done
But I am strong in the places that used to be weak
Strong enough to cry and know the reason
Going naked again
I see that I'm changing
Another time has come
A prisoner of the past but only if I turn and run
'cause I can sing the places that others only dream
And I can dream the faces never seen
Going naked again
My time is going, gone
I'm only hesitating, between the bouts of holding on
But I am war in the places that used to be cold
I kept all the things that others sold
Going naked again
You might say I'm fadin'
The grace notes of a song
A tune that's going nowhere, but where the other tunes have done
But I am strong in the places that used to be weak
Strong enough to cry and know the reason
Going naked again
I see that I'm changing
Another time has come
A prisoner of the past but only if I turn and run
'cause I can sing the places that others only dream
And I can dream the faces never seen
Going naked again
