Closer To Fine — текст песни (Indigo Girls)

i`m tryna tell you somethin bout my life
maybe give me insight between black and white
and the best thing you`ve ever done for me
is to help me take my life less seriously
it`s only life after all (yeah)

well darkness has a hunger that`s insatiable
and lightness has a call that`s hard to hear
i wrapped my fear around me like a blanket
i sailed my ship of safety till i sank it
i`m crawling on your shores

chorus
i went to the doctor
i went to the mountains
i looked to the children
i drank from the fountains
there`s more than one answer to these
questions pointing me in a crooked line
the less i seek my source for some definitive
the closer i am to fine
the closer i am to fine

and i went to see the doctor of philosophy
with a picture of rasputin and a beard down to his knees
he never did marry
or see a b-grade movie
he graded my performance
he said he could see through me
i spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
got my papers and i was free

chorus

I stopped by a bar at 3 am
to seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend
and i woke up with a headache like my head against a board
twice as cloudy as i`d been the night before
i went in seeking clarity

chorus
