Low Life Lyrics - Clover Lane - Jonah Tolchin

I've been low living like I do 

And I've been tired, but when the day is through, 

Half awake when I try to face the night 

I would sleep but I only dream of you. 

And low is the life and I know that I'm right; 

Cold is the comfort it brings in the night. 

Fast will I hold to these truths that I know, 

Even though they never really seemed 

Quite real to me; so I'll keep on lying low. 

And I've been swept and brushed under the rug, 

Like the dust collecting in my thoughts. 

And I have tried to shake the cobwebs off, 

But they grow back whenever I wake up. 

And Ice is the line that grows on the wings, 

Down from the sky I'm adrift in the night. 

Soft is the sound as I crash to the ground, 

Knowing you will never hear the news, 

And you never will be told, so I'll keep on lying low.
