about
For a new year of looking forward, I thought I'd take a look back at a song that was, and still is in many ways, my safe haven when my depression starts kicking in. Hopefully you guys enjoy my cover of it :)
lyrics
Day after day i'm more confused
Yet I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
And now I'm feeling the strain
Oh ain't it a shame
Give me the beat boy and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away (x2)
Oh won't you take me away
Beginning to think that I'm wasting time
I don't understand the things I can do
The world outside looks so unkind
And I'm counting on you
You can carry me through
Give me the beat boy and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away (x2)
Oh won't you take me away
And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feeling blue
The guitar's coming through to soothe me
So thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know that I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme in harmony
You helped me along
Oh you're making me strong
Give me the beat boy and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll
And drift away (x4)
