Feeling Mortal

verse 1 N.C. Wide awake and feeling mortal At this moment in the dream That old man there in the mirror And my shaky self-esteem N.C. Here today and gone tomorrow It’s the way it’s got to be With an empty blue horizon   For as far as I can see God Almighty here I am Am I where I ought to be I’ve begun to soon descend Like the sun into the sea And I thank my lucky stars From here to eternity For the artist that you are And the man you made of me verse 2 N.C. Pretty speeches still unspoken Perfect circles in the sand Rules and promises I’ve broken That I still don’t understand Soon or later I’ll be leaving I’m a winner either way For the laughter and the loving That I’m living with today God Almighty here I am Am I where I ought to be I’ve begun to soon descend Like the sun into the sea And I thank my lucky stars From here to eternity For the artist that you are And the man you made of me Coda N.C.
