Uncle Bob

quit crying again
quit sleeping again
quit crying again
it's only hours in the end

heard you had a slip up
silver splinters underneath you skin
down deep, down deep to the bone
what's left to do , when
the truth comes through
so you had a moment
a chance to gain some balance
steering with your eyes takes time
it's only hours in the end

heard you had a slip up
ain't it funny how it starts to end
down deep, down deep, so alone
what's left to do except go home
so you had a moment
and I doubt that anysaw
the second hand on the clock
wasn't turning
and all this time was learning
