A Well Enough Alone

Featured on the album Songbook.

I got time
Don’t need to stop on a dime
But now my hand’s being forced
Cause when it rains, then it pours

All night
I’ve been accused of a crime
Can’t get my foot in the door
Cause when it rains, then it pours
Of course

No one seems to mind
This spinning head of mine
Can’t find these silver lines
If I can’t make amends
and there’s no room to forgive
and the thunder never ends…

Then I’m shook
Can’t let myself off the hook
There must be some change in store
For when the rain is a pour

Some night
If you have grace on your mind
I know it still won’t be earned
But if it rains, then it pours

I guess this is my lot
I can’t pretend it’s not
A downpour ever more
If I can’t make amends
and there’s no room to forgive
and the thunder never ends…

Then it’s fine
Can’t make demands of your time
For all the pain you’ve endured
Cause when it rains, then it pours

In time
I wish us both peace of mind
Even without a cure
For when the rain is a pour
Of course

If I can’t make amends
and there’s no room to forgive
and the thunder never ends
Then I’ll find a way to go
Where the rain will someday slow
and leave a well enough alone
