I was tryin' to find someone to love me
Then I did and she was dancin'
Across the room with the lights on her half-closed eyes
So then I took another drink and stumbled
Across to her and said somethin' ridiculous
Like a man who'd refuse to shine
See I was looking for a still life
Now it is stillborn
In the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm
I was trying to write a song so articulate
It could right my wrongs but I wrote it wrong
This is not it, it's just a field day for a therapist
(And what did you dream?)
That I wrote a song
(And what did it mean?)
That I got it wrong, I don't know
I don't know
See I was looking for a still life
Now it is stillborn
In the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm
Did I know it then? Did I cry out then?
By the blooming tree in Switzerland?
No I never really know
No I never really know
What I can do about it
If I lie down on the dirty ground
Would you hear the angels sing?
Still life
Now it is stillborn
In the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm
Still life
Now it is stillborn
In the endless glow, on a river of road
I drove out of the eye of the storm
