Letra Unravel Lynn Miles

Unravel

I've been livin' out here by the hydro towersTryin' to feel my feet and regain my powersLivin' on the flight path, tryin' to feel the groundTryin' to break the chains that hold me to this town I've been watchin' the crows, sittin' on the wiresListenin' to the muscle cars burnin' their tires
I thought I'd stick around for a month or so
Well I've been here for seven and this is what I know You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart
Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart
Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled
You can make a perfect plan, and see it all unravel Well you know who your friends are when you go through troubleThey're the ones who come around and pull you from the rubble
The phone don't ring as many times a day
But when it does, they have somethin' good to say I watch the new mothers push their strollers on my streetThey're scared and they're happy and they're sad and they're sweet
I watched two seasons come and go
And this is what I know You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart
Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart
Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled
You can make a perfect plan, and see it all unravel Now I'm sittin' in the window and I'm watchin' it rain
Thunder and lightenin', love and shame
It took me four long years to crawl down to this placeIt'll take four to get back and it ain't no race Now there's cats on the sidwalk, dogs under trees
And the wheels on the pavement buzz like honey bees
The laundry's wet and the wind is gonna blow
And I don't care 'cause this is what I know You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart
Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart
Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled
You can make a perfect plan, and You can read a lot of books, it don't make you smart
Kiss a lot of fools, don't mean you got a heart
Walk a million miles, don't mean that you traveled
You can make a perfect plan, and see it all unravel
