I've got time in my pocket Where my money used to be Got a song in my soul That used to be a part of me There are whispers in the wind There is thunder in the storm There’s a woman on my mind That used to keep me warm I keep on living Just keep on living for today I keep on breathing Just to pass the time of day And I got feelings Just like everybody else I just can’t feel them They’re way too deep inside myself I use to work for a living But the work got in my way I’d rather strum an old guitar Than exchange myself for pay Got a hundred songs or more Sitting on a dusty shelf Cause a song is not worth singing If you’re singing to yourself I keep on living Just keep on living for today I keep on breathing Just to pass the time of day And I got feelings Just like everybody else I just can’t feel them They’re way too deep inside myself Elizabeth Santos |

I really wish I could hear this sung. As I read, my mind kept trying to make a tune (but it failed hideously). I really like the lyrics. Alison |

Well now, that had a nice "twang" to it dear Lizzie. I have yet to hear a song so when Nan shows up ask her to find you a mp3 site to put them on so we can hear them? I think people don't even realize you are a songwriter, that actually sells songs! I could hear this one and feel it too. Miss you, wish I was there hanging out with you two. Carpe' Diem, |
