Hour Follows Hour

Hour follows hour like water follows water Everything is governed by the rule Of 'one thing leads to another' You can't really place blame Cause blame is much too messy Someone's bound to get on you While you were trying to put it on me And don't fool yourself into thinking things are simple Nobody's lying still the stories don't line up Why do you try to hold on to what you'll never get a hold on? You wouldn't try to put the ocean in a paper cup Cause I have had something to prove As long as I know there's something that needs improvement And you know that every time I move I make a woman's movement And first you decide what you've gotta do Then you go out and do it And maybe the most we can do Is just to see each other through it Hour follows hour like water in a river And from one to the next We don't know what each hour will deliver We just call it like we see it Call it out loud as we can And then afterwards we call it all water over the dam Maybe the moral higher ground Ain't as high as it seems Maybe we are both good people Who've done some bad things I just hope it was okay I know it wasn't perfect I hope in the end we can laugh And say it was all worth it Cause I have had something to prove As long as I know something that needs improvement And you know that every time I move I make a woman's movement And first you decide what you've gotta do And then you go out and do it And maybe the most that we can do Is just to see each other through it We make our own gravity to give weight to things Then things fall and they break and gravity sings We can only hold so much is what I figure Try and keep our eye on the big picture Picture keeps getting bigger And too much is how I love you But too well is how I know you And I've got nothing to prove this time Just something to show you I guess I just wanted you to see That it was all worth it to me
