I Smell Rain

[Lyrics by Ron Mann] ©2012 CHA Promotions

The traffic seems to flow the wrong way
Make the same mistakes day after day
We seem to be our own worst enemy
Should know better but I don’t have the energy
Talking to an image that lies to me
I notice it’s my reflection starring back I see
Phone keeps ringing but no one is home
Frost on a window, sitting all alone

Build fences round the property
The boarders still the same
A careless bit of happiness
And Why do I smell rain

Socks disappearing while in the dryer
The date on the milk has expired
Running scared with a pair of scissors
Sorting out all the takers and givers
Odds and ends all over the table
I’ll count them all when I’m able
Tarnish on the silver gets harder to clean
Sitting through movies we’ve already seen

Build fences round the property
The boarders still the same
A careless bit of happiness
And Why do I smell rain
