Picking Up and Going - Tom House

Ain’t no cause ain’t no cure

We could talk about it sure

But I don’t believe we could change a thing

It’s been coming on too long

Now it’s gotten way too strong

For the answers evening can bring

In the stillborn crackling of a cold dark night

For awhile I thought I had it

For awhile you know I might have

But I let it get right by me I let it slip away

Seems there’s some things I don’t need to know

Some things that I can’t say

And I guess I’ve really always been that way

Chorus: And there’s no way I’ll be believing

There’s any other way of knowing

And the only thing left to leaving now

Is the picking up and going

We don’t need no doctor here

Take a knife to cut a tear

Take more than me or you ever had before

And it hurts to know you mean it

When you’re saying that you seen it all

And that there ain’t no looking anymore

You’ve got seasons and silences sounds of your own

And yes I guess I really always known

That a moment ain’t forever

You and I were never made

Just to sit there like we had to

Like we were getting paid

Like a bad hand of cards

That we played

Chorus:
