Track 4 from CD 'Adagio For Piranhas' by Patrick Porter
lyrics
BUT I WAS FLOATING
Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2011
I went out to roam
Sealed my life away from home
But I was floating
But I was floating
There was a cause
To steal my life away from yours
But I was floating
But I was floating
Away from Earth
Away from Earth
Job had a job
To play patty-cakes with God
While I was floating
While I was floating
Souls cost a lot
Happiness does not
But I was floating
But I was floating
Away from Earth
Away from Earth
Pain pave a road
Seal my life away from home
But I was floating
But I was floating
There was a cause
To shield my life away from yours
But I was floating
But I was floating
Away from Earth
Away from Earth
