Sketches (20 Something Of Life) Lyrics - Singles - La Rocca

All i have's this journal that i write 

sketches of a 20-something life 

glory pieces shining on a page 

boxing night of disappointing rage 

legends never leave an ounce of flesh 

color fades a memory like death 

i mistook with all the sense i had 

words laid down in mornings' turning sad 

left a window seat for who may pass 

long to see a skirt or cotton blouse 

inside of a woman's' changing room 

got invited back, gave opinion too 

colored queen a winters' night in a bath 

can you feel this prose tease out a laugh 

all i have's this journal that i write 

sketches of a 20-something life 

never got to see the mighty sands 

settled for a back-row in the stands 

many New Years Eves' i spent alone 

shaking with the fear while crawling home 

digging even deeper down for oil 

to fuel the fires roaring in my soul 

of course i wanted credit where its' due 

i feel so very blessed to play with you 

we get over everything it seems 

wide awake while all around is dream 

dig your Autumn taste and marriage needs 

for half a piece of mind, i mined your peace 

using every face i run into 

take a seat and tell me something new 

all i have's this journal that i write 

sketches of a 20-something life 

maybe when we travel left of town 

i could play the 20-something down 

pretend I've won the lottery and sing 

get into the mansion house and 

bring, a bottle opened slowly at the door 

added to the missing lions roar 

didn't we go looking for the place 

where all my inspirations wrote their face 

telephone kept buzzing on the plane 

filming what could never be again 

all i have's this journal that i write 

sketches of a 20-something life
