A Little Time off Ahead Lyrics by Vandaveer

The Wild Mercury

2016

Need a little time off ahead
Climbing out of these trenches
Hot bath and a home cooked meal
A little sunlight would do me right
I’ve been striking out
Been striking these matches
Till my hands catch fire
And the sulphur burns my eyes
Well I’ve been on the road a long long time
Long enough to miss the cut
Long enough to dull the rush
Enough to make Moriarti blush
Enough to make friends and lose touch
Enough is enough
Maybe I’ll finally call
Yeah enough is enough
Maybe I’ll finally call my bluff
Gotta get back
Gotta need a little back beat here
I’ve been strumming
So guitar till my fingers bleed
And my skin [?] stripped away
Yeah they skipped town
Made their getaway
They hitched a ride
With my wounded pride
They were all looking for
A similar way to arrive
Oh a little distance from my worn down side
A little respite from my worn out mind
I can’t blame them they were right
I won’t blame them they were right
No I can’t blame them they were right
To be gone
Done with so much wrong
Need a little time off ahead
Around the bend
Been straddling the double lines
Blurring mile after blurring mile
I got a little angel just standing in the doorway
Been away so long I can’t tell
If my boy thinks I’m just a friend
A friend of mom’s
Maybe I just stopped by to mow the lawn
Well I gotta fix this quick
He’ll be gone before too long
Yeah he’ll be asking things
Think about right and wrong
Well I gotta sober up
I gotta pony up
Yeah I better study up
I gotta be strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough to be [?]
