Cocolarosa - Peace of Mind Lyrics

I worry like the field mouse, he worries about the circling hawk
And like the debutant she worries, what she'll say when she's made to talk
Oh I worry like the sailor who's watching the wind and tide
And like the tongue that probes the hole
Where the tooth used to reside

Oh and what to do with all I've thought
All I've seen in these dreams
What to make, of all I've done
All I've said, who I've been
And where to run
When the weight of the world's pressing down upon you now

Oh I worry like the junkie, he worries where he'll get his fix
Oh like the wives of Henry the 8th, they have to worry if they'd be next
Oh I worry like the monster, just trying to find a way to live
And like the knight upon his steed, clad in steel, who seeks his head

Oh and what to do with all I've thought
All I've seen in these dreams
What to make, of all I've done
All I've said, who I've been
And where to run
When the weight of the world's pressing down upon you now

It would seem it was all just a dream after all
And in that dream, neither inspired nor divine, what did I find?
I found in the moments when I was weak
Would've taken resignation over defeat
And in that fragile state of mind, couldn't have known what it would mean

I worry in the mornings when I first get out of bed
Oh and it carries on through the day, until the porter can clear my head
Oh I worry in the darkness when I lay awake at night
Oh I worry that the worry, is taking years off my life
Oh I worry, worry, I worry all the goddamn time
It's like a prayer for what you fear
It's like a cure for peace of mind
