Watching It Go — текст песни (Bill Anderson)

It seems that I`m spendin` most of my life
Spendin` ten cents while I`m makin` a dime
Tryin` to make sense out of life`s mixed up rhyme meantime I`m watching it go
Clouds in my head they keep crowding my brain
Fair weather thoughts disappear with the rain
I`m chasing rainbows that never remain helplessly watching life go
Watching it go wanting to know where do you go where you`ve been
[ strings ]
Poor Cinderella she`s bowing her head
Tellin` some stranger what a hard life she`s led
Glass slippers fast asleep under the bed sadly I`m watching her go
Prince charming dressed in disarming disguise
Flashin` his charms as he`s blinding her eyes
Morning will hear him say his sunshine goodbye just the way I used to go
Watching it go wanting to know where do you go where you`ve been
[ strings ]
My Lord it seems I`ve tried so many things
Walking on crutches and calling them wings
Wondering who`s pulling the puppeteer`s strings hmm I`m wantin` to know
I feel so confined I keep wanting to roam looking for a life that won`t be so alone
Singing in my soul Lord I want to go home knowin` I never can go
Watching it go wanting to know where do you go when you`ve been
