How Did We Get This Far?

Written by Sid Griffin

How did we get this far?

Walking down mountains stumbing round trees

How did we get this far?

Trying to dance and bruising our knees in the dark

How did we get this far?

A torch at the window a humming bird steal

How did we get this far?

Laughing perchance yet losing the feel of our hearts

Well coming down of that cloud I can hear you cry out loud

I can hear you think out loud all night

And though our journeys end I'd still take your for a friend

Take for a friend tonight

How did we get this far?

A Chinaman's footsteps an Irishman's dreams

How did we get this far?

Pulling on threads holding the seams of our hearts

We were pulling on theads holding the seams of our hearts

Well God damn and I declare though it isn't much like me to swear

I can hear the rafters giving in

And whispered on that breeze is a chill to make you freeze

A wind to make you freeze all night

How did we get this far?

Tumble weed blown by a desert sky

How did we get this far?

Liek a diamond once crushed into beauty and youth

Whiskey and water gin and vermouth

How did we get this far?

Trying to dance and bruising our knees in the dark

How did we get this far?

Trying to dance and holding our dreams in our hearts

How did we get this far?

Trying to dance and bruising our knees in the dark

Trying to dance and holding our dreams in our hearts

We were trying to dance and bruising our knees in the dark

How did we get this far?
