Not that simple. Tiki King, Nov.2002

Time goes by with hardly a whisper
And I don't feel all that old
but it seems like I never draw anymore
And you always ask me what's wrong
I remember when my father died
I sat up on the cliffs
Sometimes I see them in the distance
And I wish I could be up there
But it's not that simple

I went and sat on my fathers grave
Took him a beer like I sometimes do
I told him about how circles close
And pretended I wasn't crying
Sometimes life seems so big
And I am afraid that if I look
It will seem too big to carry
And I'll want to set it down˛
But it's not that simple

Still, time drifts by
And I try and stop thinking
And I do what I can
Just To keep the clocks ticking
To pass enough time that I can
Sleep in your arms
And I want to wake up by the fire
And have it smell like Christmas
But it's not that simple
