Lyrics: Nick Griffith Music: Nick Griffith I was in a funny moment I was in a funny way I was in a fearful quarter It was a familiar place I’m a stranger to the strangers I’m an aging hair of grey I’m the chairman of the chamber I’m just trying to escape I was dried up like a desert I had all my time in spades Toss my cactus is the cauldron Fill my heart with mayonnaise
Hold me while I’m aching at your side Lick up my tears when I cry
I wake early in the morning I am in a lot of pain I walk out into the sunshine We are dying for some rain I’m not searching for a warning I’m not looking for a sign I’m just trying to read the paper I’m not trying to read you mind
Hold me while I’m aching at your side Lick up my tears when I cry
