Indigo Girls - Closer To Fine lyrics

I'm trying to tell you something bout my life Maybe give me insight between black and white And the best thing you've ever done for me Is to help me take my life less seriously It's only life after all Now darkness has a hunger that's insatiable And lightness has a call that's hard to hear I wrap my fear around me like a blanket I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it I'm crawling on your shores I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains, I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive The closer I am to fine The closer I am to fine I went to see the doctor of philosophy With a poster of Rasputin, and a beard down to his knee He never did marry, or see a b-grade movie He graded my performance, he said he could see through me I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind I got my paper and I was free I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains, I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line And the less I seek my source for some definitive The closer I am to fine The closer I am to fine *whistle* I stopped by the bar at 3 am To seek solace in a bottle, or possibly a friend And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before I went in seeking clarity from the fountain from the fountains up for the lookout There's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line The less I seek my source for some definitive The closer I am to fine The closer I am to fine The closer I am to fine
