lyric of the day #7 – a re-entry

OK, been away a long time this time. No excuses, doesn’t really matter why. So I return with a lyric that to me packs emotion and imagery into a few words. I think that’s a definition of art.

the only thing that’s keeping me
from staying here is leaving
the only thing that saves me from it all
is i’ll be gone
and just when i could trust 
in all the things that i believe in 
i had to pack it up and move along 
and i’ll tell you boys my work is never done
so like a sweet and salty gypsy kiss I’m gone 

“Carnival Song”  - Jeff Black
