nedped - Ownership to Nowhere Lyrics

A reverent regard for the cost
Has kept me from counting what's lost
What credit I've earned doesn't last
It goes only so far around, y'all

I own nothing and I owe nothing
So I won't have far to fall
When losing my balance in romance
Trying to dance, to ride the chance

Some have to wait to be told
Others just get up and go
Sensing what's gone when it's gone
Knowing what's done when it's done

In this picture no one's moving
The still frame doesn't capture the souls
Of the god-fearing armies gone marching
Arm to arm, shore to shore

A tall application declined
For reasons not clearly detailed
I tuck in my tail and go home
Wait for the last boat to sail, y'all

I've earned nothing and I learn nothing
Over and over again
Endless retreat from salvation
'Long the way, prayers come out to play
