These Days - Ozark Henry

These days tell me to go it alone

The crippled walk on

The righteous were wrong

As far as I can see

It ain’t what you told me

Dark sand and cold sea

These days I’m to go it alone

I hope nothings proving me wrong

You’re so far I’m so here

If I step forward would you dress me down

There ain’t no magus — the best swimmers drown

As far as I can see

These days I’m to go it alone

I hope nothings proving me wrong

You’re so far I’m so here

Charge me a token fee for your truth

And I hope

And I hope for your truth
