The Why and the Woe

from Main Street Milky Way by Michael McGuire

/

lyrics

It takes half my soul just to get out of bed, I feel like the body of the ghost in my head, I just can’t make sense of this day-after-day, I followed the leader when he lost his way.

Well I try and I try and I try and I try, I cry and I cry and I cry, My life has gone by, I don’t even know why, Woe is me.

It takes my best aim just to fake this shot, I can only find answers to what this is not, The girl of my dreams she won’t let me sleep, I’m just sowing a seed that I’ll never reap.

Well I try and I try and I try and I try, I cry and I cry and I cry, My life has gone by, I don’t even know why, Woe is me.

The life of a man is just pain and toil, You try to grow food from this weary soil, From the moment we see we realize we are blind, The things that we seek are the things we can’t find.

Well I try and I try and I try and I try, I cry and I cry and I cry, My life has gone by, I don’t even know why, Woe is me.
