Loose Summer Clothes

from Clearing
(also on Storyhill Live, Echoes and Reunion)

Bendin' over backwards
Was something I never could learn to do
You may accuse me of a brittle spine
But I won't compromise that much for you

I can make some concessions
I can entertain most any thought
As long as your thinking's within the realm of reason
Which is something you haven't got

Chorus:
I wouldn't sail to the end of the world
I wouldn't search for your lost grail
I won't hold open the gates of heaven
Or pull you from the pits of hell

Now I can honor good balance
I an understand both night and day
But I can't walk around with my head put on backwards
Because I can't see much of anything that way

You've got me living in limbo
You've got me touching my toes
You've got me sleeping in a straitjacket
And you took away my loose summer clothes

Chorus

You've got me living in limbo
You've got me touching my toes
You've got me stuck inside a straitjacket
And you took away my loose summer clothes
And you took away my loose summer clothes
And you took away my loose summer clothes
