Sometimes I need a reminder to stop wallowing in self-pity and just move on. Yes, take time to feel it fully, but then leave it in the past. I’ve wasted a lot of emotional energy dwelling on things that I can’t change, and that’s time I’ll never get back.
lyrics
Put off until tomorrow
What you can’t do today
Tomorrow comes and goes
While we’re just slumbering away
Can you look yourself in the eyes
Through an obvious disguise
You’re not fooling me or fooling time
Can’t stop those hands from turning
So when will you get on with your life
Tell me your interpretation
Half empty or half full?
What’s the use in crying
When it’s out of your control
Now you’re walking on the other side
Left your happiness behind
You’re not fooling me or fooling time
Can’t stop those hands from turning
So when will you get on with your life
This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
i love eilen jewell. just listened to the entire album, get behind the wheel, now going back and listening to and savoring individual tracks. her music has an indescribable beauty. it's real, honest, sweet, powerful, touching, universal. it's a special artist that can do all that and leave you coming back for more. tikibarjim
