Song: Recovery

Me singing a while back. The song is my own, titled 'Recovery'

It's one of those things that really comes from the heart, and a heart that has been broken a time or two....

Also on youtube

Recovery, live

Lyrics

There are times when your soul’s had to pay so many tolls

that it falls under the weight and is smothered

it’s as good to you as gone, so you have to carry on

while you wait for it to slowly recover

You know your life has changed when you go from day to day

and you just don’t want to show up for tomorrow

You look into the mirror, and the image that appears

is a face so unlike yours you’d swear it’s borrowed

I didn’t know where I was going; I just knew that where I was

was no place that I wanted to stay

carrying my past around ‘cause I didn’t know how to put it down

and that’s how I wound up where I am today

Just like a river flows sometimes high and sometimes low

but without the rain would dry up like a stone

but there’s different kinds of rain just like there’s different kinds of pain

and there’s kinds you wish would just leave you alone

I ain’t had no grand adventures but I’ve had some ups and downs

and I’ve made and lost some friends along the way

I’m not looking for attention; you can leave or stick around

but I’ve got some things I’m wanting to say

I’m not glad and I’m not sad that I’ve had the life I’ve had

at least it’s taught me some things about living

of all the things that I possess, the one that serves me best

is I’ve gotten pretty good at forgiving

There are times when your soul’s had to pay so many tolls

that it falls under the weight and is smothered

it’s as good to you as gone so you have to carry on

while you wait for it to slowly recover
