Leo Kottke - From the Cradle to the Grave lyrics

Feeling like a ship out of the ocean About to go aground on desert sands Feeling like an eagle losing motion Tired of flying, ain't no where to land Everyday's all the same Same old ways, never change Going from the cradle to the grave I don't think I've ever felt so helpless Always feeling like my hands are tied Failure at most everything I've dealt with Ruining most everything I've tried Everyday's all the same Same old ways, never change Going from the cradle to the grave And every day's all the same Same always, never change Going from the cradle to the grave Running from my life at every moment Never having time to catch my breath Sometimes I wish this crazy race were over The thought of living scares me half to d**h And every day's all the same Same always, never change Going from the cradle to the grave
