lyrics

What to do when you’re broke and blue
The sunshine’s not breaking through
And all the wealth that you thought you made
Will not help to make you whole

What to say when you look away
From the three and you don’t pray
The water’s cold and you ain’t as bold
So you shiver quake and cry

I need a ladder of my own
Not one that has been used before
And with that ladder of my own
I’ll climb the hill and I’ll be gone

Where to go when I dig my hole
To crawl into the dreams I hold
Like a gopher I’m search for
Something that I can chew

Where to hide no one can trace
I’ll dig myself out of this place
That’s the time I realize
That I am getting old

The money’s gone and the rent is due
The water’s cold but I ain’t through
The sun will come and shine on me
And I will live again

The day is now; no alibi
It should come as no surprise
I’ve broken through the clouds and I find
That it’s a bright new sunny day

I’ve got a ladder of my own
Not one that has been used before
And with this ladder of my own
I’ll climb the hill and I’ll be gone

You’ll need a ladder of your own
Not one that has been used before
And with that ladder of your own
You’ll climb the hill and you’ll be gone
