Worried Spirits - Howe Gelb

Oh my worried spirits

oh my troubled mind

woke me up late last night

just to tell me I wasn’t trying

what do you think I’m going to answer?

I know what they told me is true

Well I must care less about some things I guess

What am I to do?

It’s hard to take some time

The strong ones fade

And the weak ones die

But you got to keep on trying

Tell me who’s going to pick up the pieces

When you start to break down

Who will be left to answer your questions?

Take a good look around

oh my worried spirits

oh my troubled mind

tell me what are we going to do

when the money’s all gone

and we are losing our home

it’ll be hard to eat, with a plate on the street

fighting the dog for his bone
