indigo girls - soon be to nothing lyrics

kelly mountain road saw a heavy load
with a sagging heart and a break apart
voices in me stood as thick as thieves
with no sympathy for the beggars art
i have passed these pines 'bout a million times effortlessly
now i grip the wheel fear is what i feel
at the slow unraveling of me

you tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
by god don't you think i know it's in my mind
it's right over left and healing the then
i'll soon be to nothing but i don't know when

well the way i flee on my crooked feet
barn happy horse on a one-track course
then i self despise cryin' out my eyes
'cause the happy trail led me to remorse
but the road is long and the song is gone
i blow empty in my cicada shell
if i saw my choice i might find my voice
but i don't know when and i just can't tell

you tell me it's temporary just a matter of time
by god don't you think i know it's in my mind
it's right over left and healing the then
i'll soon be to nothing but i don't know when

deep behind my face is a safer place
but old gears are hitched tight to the gate
it's a daily grind waiting to unwind
till i hear that click that unlocks my fate

so tell me it's temporary it's a matter of time
by god don't you think i know it's in my mind
it's right over left and healing the then
i'll soon be to nothing but i don't know when
i'll soon be to nothing but i don't know when
i'll soon be to nothing but i don't know when
