Another 10 Miles lyrics

I don`t see what you see in me
I`m just flesh and bone
Many hours at the carousel,
Postcards from far from home
Sometimes I feel as useless as my empty words, old
president`s dogs, clean paws, no dirt

What do these words mean?
Sometimes I just don`t know.
Sometimes I just can`t see
where it is I go- I waste
my whole day thinking over
things I`ve said and avoiding myself
like the plague in my head

I know that you see me and I know
You`re about me, that`s why You
let me roam
Another 10 miles, another 10 miles, another 10 miles

Where does this all lead, and
why must I follow it?
Nothing is black and white,
(even me, I must admit).
I jot down the facts and work
on consistency, but open up the
closet door; it`s George, and
the cat, and me.

My shifting eyes like sands
cannot focus on the void,
concentration still,
`Get thee behind me, Freud.`
I`m grasping at straws and
the bale is almost gone;
the fire`s grown much too dim,
nights grow much too long-

I am holding things Yours, not mine
while I should cling to You like a
cow beneath the light of a highway sign.
