93: CATCH
Music by Jeremy Decker / Words by Marlin Collins
We can take a man
And walk him up to the line.
Catch him if you can
His eyes that see are always blind.
Pouring in the salt
To wounds when he’s already dead.
Could it be the fault
Of words that were not ever said?
Wouldn’t need a reason
For taking too much time.
All the steps are freezin’
Coming from behind.
Looking for a hand
While falling further down.
Catch me if you can
No sympathy is ever found. (Chorus )
The pictures in the sand
Are washed away by the tide.
Lookin’ for a land
Where it is safe to reside.
Heard about a part
That’s broken off from the face.
It’s no place to start
When hope’s already gone to waste.
(Chorus )
Buried in the ground
Is what a life must become.
Listen for the sound
With feelings that are always numb.
Open up the hand
While grasping for the only way.
Faith is how we stand
Our debts we cannot ever pay.
(Chorus )
We can take a man
And walk him up to the line.
Catch him if you can
His eyes that see are always blind.
Pouring in the salt
To wounds when he’s already dead.
Could it be the fault
Of words that were not ever said?
