Soon Be To Nothing - Lyrics by Indigo Girls


Lyrics

Kelly mountain road
Saw a heavy load
With a sagging heart
And a break apart
Voices in me
Stood as thick as thieves
With no sympathy
For the beggars art
I have passed these pines
'bout a million times
Effortlessly
(effortlessly)
Now i grip the wheel
Fear is what i feel
At the slow unraveling of
(slow unraveling of)
Me
(me)
(ah)
(ah)

But you tell me it's temporary
(tell me it's temporary)
It's a matter of time
(it's a matter of time)
By god
Don't you think i know it's in my mind
(in my mind)
And it's right over left
(right over left)
And healing the then
(healing the then)
I'll soon be to nothing
But i don't know when

Well the way i flee
(daylight)
On my crooked feet
Barn happy horse
(fading)
On a one-track course
Then i self despise
(daylight)
Cryin' out my eyes
'cause the happy trail
(fading)
Led me to remorse,
But the road is long
(but the road is long)
And the song is gone
I blow empty
In my cicada shell
If i saw my choice
(if i saw my choice)
I might find my voice
But i don't know when
(don't know when)
And i just can't tell
(just can't tell)
(ah)
(ah)

You tell me it's temporary
(tell me it's temporary)
It's a matter of time
(it's a matter of time)
By god
Don't you think i know it's in my mind
(in my mind)
It's right over left
(right over left)
And healing the then
(and healing the then)
I'll soon be to nothing
But i don't know when

Deep behind my face
Is a safer place
But old gears are hitched tight
To the gate
It's a daily grind
Waiting to unwind
Till i hear that click
That unlocks my fate
(ah)
(ah)

Yeah
But you tell me it's temporary
(but tell me it's temporary)
And it's a matter of time
(and it's a matter of time)
By god
Don't you think i know it's in my mind
It's right over left
(it's right over left)
And healing the then
(and healing the then)
I'll soon be to nothing
(i'll soon be to nothing)
But i don't know when
I'll soon be to nothing
(i'll soon be to nothing)
But i don't know when
I'll soon be to nothing
But i don't know when
(but i don't know when)
