Emerson Drive "Moments" |
I was comin to the end of a long long walk When a man crawled out of a cardboard box Under the E Street Bridge followed me on to it I went out halfway across with that homeless shadow taggin along So I dug for some change - wouldnt need it anyway He took it looking just a bit ashamed He said you know I havent always been this way Ive had my moments Days in the sun, moments I was second to none, moments When I knew I did what I thought I couldnt do Like that plane ride, coming home from the war That summer, my son was born Memories, like a coat so warm the cold wind cant get through Looking at me now you might not know it But Ive had my moments Well I stood there tryin to find my nerve Wondering if a single soul on earth would care at all Miss me when Im gone That old man just kept hangin around Lookin at me, lookin down I think he recognized That look in my eyes Standing with him there I felt ashamed I said you know I havent always been this way Ive had my moments Days in the sun, moments I was second to none, moments When I knew I did what I thought I couldnt do Like the day I, walked away from the white [wine] For a woman, who became my wife And a love that, when it was right could always see me through Looking at me know you might not know it Ive had my moments I know somewhere around a trash can fire tonight That old man tells his story One more time He says, Ive had my moments Days in the sun, moments I was second to none, moments When I knew I did what I thought I couldnt do Like that cool night, on the E Street Bridge When a young man, almost ended it I was right there, wasnt scared a bit And I helped to pull him through Looking at me now you might not know it Oh - looking at me now you might not know it Ive had my moments Ive had my moments Ive had my moments Ive had my moments Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
