Lyrics John Martyn

John Martyn

Say What You Can

You make me shaky

The way you play the game

And every time it works the same

You say what you can, but you can't understand

It's bigger than you, and it's true.

And if I should wake up screaming

It's because of the way we're dealing

And I was so scared that we might fall

Say what you can, but you can't understand

It's bigger than you, and it's true.

I think of children

Something to leave behind

They keep me worried all the time

Say what you can, but you can't understand

You just have to lie, to get by.

And if I should wake up crying

It's because of the way we're dying

And I'm so scared that we might fall.

And if I should wake up screaming

It's because of the way we're dealing

And I'm so scared that we might fall.

You make me shaky

The way you play the game

And every time it works the same.

If I should wake up screaming

It's because of the way we're dealing

And I'm so scared that we might fall.

That we might fallWe might fall

We might fallWe might fall.
