lyrics

You've got to find some way to keep singing
I miss having you around
Your boat might be taking on water
They're whispering about you in town

I can't imagine what it's like
To spend time in your skin
To face the demons you fight
To ride your rollercoaster
And feel the floor drop out again

You've got to find some way to keep singing
You've got to come out the other side
And brother nothing will be sweeter
Than walking with you in that sunshine

I can't imagine what it's like
To spend time in your skin
To face the demons you fight
To be tied to the train tracks
And hear her coming round the bend

Mmmm yeah just saying
Don't give up now
We need you more than ever

I can't imagine what it's like
To spend time in your skin
To face the demons you fight
But you're some kind of mother
To take them on again

Mmmm yeah just saying
Don't give up now
We need you more than ever
Don't give up now
We need you more than ever

I've written 1,000 songs, starved, played on the street, played to the crowd, survived band explosions, self-implosions, and have had my heart broken, dreams crushed and soul thinned all over the place chasing that perfection of Mr. Tambourine Man -- and I wouldn't trade a minute of it. ... more
