Whimper And Wail Lyrics - In Memory Of Loss - Nathaniel Rateliff

On the run and run I'm wailing 

I want to throw my arms and shake 

I guess you get too hard to remember 

And I can't put a finger on it 

I'll reach a point and I'll quit running 

Too tired to move my legs 

What's the holdup, what keeps stalling 

Why a man that you can't tame? 

I just don't hear or wait anymore 

I'm just a half-wit, easily floored 

I think I'll fall out, and try it again 

I think its long gone, and so far we've fell 

I wonder what we really are 

I guess you caught me in my whimper 

I tried to skip and break my leg 

You found a place to stick let linger 

And that sort of bothers me 

What's the point, well why keep rolling? 

One morning you'll awake 

Too much dust and I can't shake off 

Lay down, pull the covers over me 

I've just been honed out, pinned any chord 

I'm just some fall back, weak little whore 

A man that's stronger, I lost it somewhere 

That's just the way we whimper and wail.
