In My Way, Yes Vic Chesnutt

Taking my time, working on lines
Fingers in clay every day
Head in the clouds, moving my mouth
Spreading the grout, holding it down

Do you think it makes a difference?
I say yes, in my life, yes
Cuddling up declarations of love
Squeeze and a hug, kiss and a rub

Faces opposed, eyelids closed
Nuzzling nose like proverbial Eskimos
Don't’cha feel silly
I say no, with my love, no

I never ever thought
I'd have a life like this
I never dreamed I'd be alive
I nevеr considered

Such as thesе surroundings
Effectually pulling it off
Watching the cops go by
Seeing a falcon fly

Reading a history book
Wetting a tiny hook
Driving fast all night
Bursting into song at first light
