The Move by Joe Hehir Lyrics
The Move
There’s all this good around
If I could tune out all the sounds
I’d be picking up the ground
And saving all I’ve found
All the shiny pretty lyings
Don’t make me slow down
I wanted to move down south
Momma I don’t understand why
I’m just trying to keep from going afoul
I’m feeling my bones getting into the cold
It snowed in Georgia the other day
Atlanta was all closed it just shut down
With all this good around
If I could keep what I have found
I’d be standing on the ground
All the shiny pretty diamonds
That I want to give you
On this morning I can see this
I give it up to you
You’re so much better at this
At seeing the right in things
In all the common simple ways
That you live for that I don’t see
Till they’ve gone away
All day you pour down on poor me to keep my constant filled
The sad thing about this
I’m always making sure it spills
Sometimes I can’t believe the things that I say
Sometimes I think I’m going to drive you away
There’s all this good around
If I could tune out all the sounds
I’d be picking up the ground
And saving all I’ve found
All the shiny pretty lyings
Don’t make me slow down
I wanted to move down south
Momma I don’t understand why
I’m just trying to keep from going afoul
I’m feeling my bones getting into the cold
It snowed in Georgia the other day
Atlanta was all closed it just shut down
With all this good around
If I could keep what I have found
I’d be standing on the ground
All the shiny pretty diamonds
That I want to give you
On this morning I can see this
I give it up to you
You’re so much better at this
At seeing the right in things
In all the common simple ways
That you live for that I don’t see
Till they’ve gone away
All day you pour down on poor me to keep my constant filled
The sad thing about this
I’m always making sure it spills
Sometimes I can’t believe the things that I say
Sometimes I think I’m going to drive you away
