Closer To Fine Lyrics - Retrospective - Indigo Girls

I'm trying to tell you something 'bout my life 

Maybe give me insight between black and white 

And the best thing you ever done for me 

Is to help me take my life less seriously 

It's only life after all, yeah 

Well, darkness has a hunger that's insatiable 

And lightness has a call that's hard to hear 

And I wrap my fear around me like a blanket 

I sailed my ship of safety till I sank it 

I'm crawling on your shores

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains 

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains 

There's more than one answer to these questions 

Pointing me in a crooked line 

And the less I seek my source for some definitive 

(The less I seek my source) 

Closer I am to fine, yeah 

Closer I am to fine, yeah 

And I went to see the doctor of philosophy 

With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee 

He never did marry or see a B-grade movie 

He graded my performance, he said he could see through me 

I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind 

Got my paper and I was free 

Photos 

And I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains 

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains 

There's more than one answer to these questions 

Pointing me in a crooked line 

And the less I seek my source for some definitive 

The less I seek my source) 

Closer I am to fine, yeah 

Closer I am to fine, yeah 

I stopped by the bar at 3 A.M. 

To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend 

And I woke up with a headache like my head against a board 

Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before 

And I went in seeking clarity 

I went to the doctor, I went to the mountains 

I looked to the children, I drank from the fountains 

We go to the doctor, we go to the mountains 

We look to the children, we drink from the fountain 

Yeah, we go to the Bible, we go through the workout 

We read up on revival, we stand up for the lookout 

There's more than one answer to these questions 

Pointing me in a crooked line 

And the less I seek my source for some definitive 

(The less I seek my source) 

Closer I am to fine 

Closer I am to fine 

Closer I am to fine, yeah
