Gov’t Mule - In My Life lyrics

I can't save you - but I can talk you down
I can hold you - but I won't watch you drown
In my life - things have
A way of growing downward
And I don't know if I can
Watch myself be a coward again
I don't know you like I thought I did
But, I will show you things that I kept hid

In my life - I've always been the
One that had to ruin things
So I don't know - is some dark
Angel pulling on my heart strings again
In my life - things have
A kind of ragged beauty
And I don't seem to know right from wrong
Or so they say - unless it's happening to me
People change - I don't know what for
Strangers walking in and out my door

Something's got to change - the past
Just hangs here to remind me
That one of these mornings -
I'll reach for you and find me
I have told you - I won't watch you drown
I can't save you - but I will be around
