Whimper And Wail

Whimper And Wail - Nathaniel Rateliff

Written by：Nathaniel Rateliff

I want to 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 it's 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
