Smile Again

from Cloudcatcher by Kevin Blight

about

A song about quitting a job that I hated.....

lyrics

Everybody tells me that you're no good
They laugh behind your back like you was made of wood
Circulating rumours like a virus strain
And leaving dirty marks just like a nasty stain
It's water off your back, your shoulders they are wide
Your skin is thicker than they could ever realise
When you drag your sorry ass up off the floor
That's when I'm gonna see you smile

Do I see you smiling?
Do I see you hiding?
Do I see you standing at your door?
Do I hear you crying?
Do I see you trying?
Cos you can't stand the lying any more.

It's taken too long but it's understood
You can't bear to stay but even if you could
You sometimes have to do the things that you should
That's why I see you smile

Some of them are thinking that it's such a shame
You won't toe the line and play their little game
There's more to life than living every single day
Afraid of what tomorrow brings that's what you say
You got two strong hands
And you still got your mind
They didn't leave you crazy, 'least not all the time
You staked a claim on your own life and walked out the door
That's why I see you smile.
