Float Downstream Songtext
von Joel Rafael

My heart cried out
But no one knew it
There I was
All alone again
I felt a break
But something clued it
That′s when I knew
That I would make it to the end
I don't mean to bring up the past
Some times go by too fast
And it makes it easier
For me to remember
Now I′m here in my September
I couldn't change a thing
The grass ain't greener
On the other side
It′s an optical illusion thing
Avoid confusion
And float downstream
Thinkin′ about you


And the times we had
Some were good
And some were really bad
But we both know
There ain't no gladness
If you can′t compare it
To a little bit of sadness
Carry us back out to the desert
Back to the place where we used to go
The high one with the big rock canyon
Up on top of a wide plateau
I couldn't change a thing
The grass ain′t greener
On the other side
It's an optical illusion thing
Avoid confusion
And float downstream
We used to live
In the Cascade Mountains
Look out the window
And watch the snow
I could feel the cold wind
Shake my shingles
Wait for spring′s first sun to show
I'm not the man I used to be
Spinning round like a southern storm
My circles run much closer to the center
To keep my home fires burning warm
I couldn't change a thing
The grass ain′t greener
On the other side
It′s an optical illusion thing
Avoid confusion
And float downstream
