lyrics

I’m rattling a stick in a bucket
Waiting to see what comes along
I rattled all the way from Nantucket
Stayed a while but not too long

I know I can’t make you love me
I’ve got my demons just like anyone else
But there’s a passion burning deep inside me
Maybe I could use some homespun help

I’m skimming these stones cross the river
See if I can reach the other side
Maybe in time I learn to forgive her
I’m not too proud to swallow my pride

I don’t want to think about it
Makes me a shadow of my former self
There’s a torrent that I hold inside me
Maybe I could use some homespun help

Spun
Help

Help
Homespun help

I’m kicking my can down the road
No sense of direction I’m going in
I’ve got freedom overload
Crickets cricking and I’m dancing

So I’m just gonna kiss the sunset
Don’t need too much from anybody else
I rest my head beneath a star light blanket
Shut out the noise so I can hear my self

I don’t want to make you love me
I’ve got my problems just like anyone else
But there’s a furnace burning deep inside me
Maybe you could use some fire yourself

Homespun help
Homespun help

I absolutely LOVE Dark Matter and think it is one of PT's best early tracks that holds up to even their best work in the early 2000s, and this particular live performance is sublime! kilimajaro
