It Dawns

When I have too many drinks and I start to think
Feeling sorry for myself
I'm black and blue, and the world I knew
Goes from the bar to the top shelf
They give me words of advice, they try to be nice
But sometimes I just don’t care
When I’m feeling alone, I’d rather go home
Because there’s no one there

I’ll gonna be the way I choose
After I sleep off all the booze

Refrain:
And it dawns on me
Just what I’m looking for
It dawns on me
The way the past has come and gone
And the road that I am on

If I worry too hard about my cards
Then I won’t play the hand I’m dealt
It’s not as good as it gets and I have regrets
Sometimes that’s how I’ve felt
I can’t break apart the past from things that last
Soon tomorrow's yesterday
I’ve got nothing to gain from things I can’t explain
I try to stay out of my own way

Bridge:
I know that I will be all right
If I can get through one more night

Refrain

"Solo" Verse

Bridge:
I truth is I can’t separate
The sins from what’ll get me through the gate

Refrain

Commentary

Here's this week's song class song, based on a Paul Klee piece titled "It Dawns". Allow me to clarify that: based very loosely. I'm wishing this song class wouldn't be ending this week, I'm wishing it was ongoing permanently. The trick will be to keep the urgency alive.
