Hawley, Richard - Sometimes I Feel Lyrics

Sometimes if you wanna have a clean shirt, you've got to wash it
Sometimes if you wanna know what the town is, you know, you've really got to watch it
Sometimes if you really don't wanna go the way the world is, you just can't stop it
And I don't know which one I rely on but I don't rely on it

And all these things I know to be true
And each one brings me closer to you, you
And all the things I've ever loved...

Sometimes if you wanna know which way your train is going, all you've gotta do is dare to catch it
There's a sea of longing in my heart but I know I cannot bear to sail it
And the story of the pursuit of a truth keeps on going but it's so chaotic
I read my books on the flowers, the birds, and the burden of the bees, I keep them in my pocket

And all these things I know to be true
And each one brings me closer to you, you
And all the things I've ever loved...
And every day with the glory of it all
I find cold North wind endurance

This is the last post I'll ever write, well I've got a fever for the pages to unlock it
And in the woods there's all to feel and not to feel for the failure of the fallen
And all the kids in the house tonight, you know they're really rocking
And all the folks you know, they don't wanna get up, they wanna get it on here

And all these things I know to be true
And each one brings me closer to you, you
And in all weathers we are realized,
Its water drips and feeds back through the night
To be bathed in the sun's yellow healing light...

And all the things I've ever loved bring me closer to you, you
Bring me closer to you, you,
Bring me closer to you, you
And all the things I've ever loved
Each day with glory of it all, I find.

Every time I hear a song and I stop dead and think 'Oh god who's that!...it's this fella.

One of his best songs. First time i listened to Hollow Meadows 6 months ago i was in awe when this came in. I thought "He got there. Again". There being on par with Leonard Cohen's level in my eye.

Hidden gem.
