My Pick Fell In The Hole

from The Portingales (album) by The Portingales

/

lyrics

Everything I know, it didn't help me in the end
The further I rise up it seems the lower I descend
I went to a school--the books are still upon my shelf
But have I yet begun the understanding of myself

I walked into a store to get some things I needed
The choices made me dizzy; I wondered what I came in for
I once knew a girl--she gave me everything I have
Her absence makes me ache but her memory makes me laugh

I still have the photographs in a hand carved box inside my closet
And the best parts of me, well someone else has walked away with
Just give me half a chance to screw this up--it won't take too long
I wrote a lovely song, but my pick fell in the hole again
But my pick fell in the hole again

(I still have the photographs)
