Friend fell into alcoholic maze <br />the kind who never ceases to amaze <br />leaving me with only words to say <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />Here's clue, he's got woman trouble <br />guess easy to say he's seen double <br />so I'm gonna lay it down again <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />Working hard all this year long <br />he can't tell right from wrong <br />so I'll ring it from day one <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />Swore aloud how he's thinking suicide <br />thinking aloud bout rising river tide <br />so I'll sing it from day two anew <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />Booze has turned his head around <br />think he's suicidal devil road bound <br />so I'll play it from day three <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />So I'm laying truth down the line <br />listen to these blues yours and mine <br />listen catch hold my repeated lines <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />Think it's worth sown in your mind <br />making black white stop you been blind <br />so I'll ring sing the twelve bar blues <br />sometimes man you gotta weather the storm. <br /> <br />Repeat sometimes man you, gotta weather the storm.<br /><br />Wayne Falconer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/gotta-weather-the-storm/
