Help Me

There are notes that can’t be sung
So what do I have to give you?
You were air and I was lung
I’d have another day to live through
But it’s shaky ground from where I stand
This blanket’s made of gravel
You were water and I am land
I can’t see which way to travel
Help me, help me if you can
Beg, steal, borrow
Help me, help me if you can
Let’s sing about tomorrow
I worked the ground with these two hands
But now no work seems to find me
Older bones can’t work the land
And all the owners still survive me
But tell me, tell me if you can
That the next town isn’t sorrow
Tell me, tell me if you can
That there’s work upon the morrow
Everywhere you go, there’s a wind that blows
We are all in tow, everywhere you go
Years they come and go like rain
But these rocks are never changing
One day when I know my name
This world will rearrange me
Help me, help me if you can
The future will reward you
Help me, help me if you can
May the universe record you
