Chris Smither Help Me Now
I've been a fool of singular cool
All by myself
Nobody showed me how
I was born that way
Every day is a solo played
On a single string
Nobody shows up and
Nobody walks away
What do I do when the tune is through
How'm I gonna get me home
What would you say if I turned your way
And said "Help me now,
I can't do it alone.
Won't you help me now,
I can't do it alone."
Because lonesome is as lonesome does
And I do it
Perfect practice keeps me
Next to me
Nobody needs to need me
There's nothing to it
Friends you don't make
Always let you be
Where do I go to close this show
This one-man-band-to-the-bone
Why does it feel like such a deal
To say "Help me now,
I can't do it alone.
Won't you help me now,
I can't do it alone."
Well there's a bitter taste
To this wicked waste of emotion
In the time it took just to
Dig myself this hole
Finding peace of mind
In this commotion
Terrifies my
Solitary soul
Tell me how to see outside of me
Tell me what I should have known
Start at the top and don't stop
Till I can say "Help me now,
I can't do it alone."
Tell me how to see outside of me
Tell me what I should have known
Just start at the top and don't stop
Till I can say "Help me now,
I can't do it alone.
Won't you help me now,
I can't do it alone."
