lyrics

I tried to be an island, yeah:
I know, I know, I know.
I tried to be a modern man:
I know, I know, I know.
I tried to be a picket fence:
I broke, I broke, I broke.
I wonder where my courage went:
I broke, I broke, I broke.

How toothless of me to think I could learn to wait.
Oh, I know.

Why am I so destitute while I'm holding out for a soul?
I deal in absolutes when I try to take control,
Truth be told.

I tried to be more common sense:
I know, I know, I know.
A portrait of my elegance:
I know, I know, I know.
I whispered something delicate,
I broke.
I broke.

How ruthless of me to think I can stand the chase.
How foolish of me to think I can change my shape.
Oh, I know.

I am so destitute when I'm holding out for a soul.
I deal in absolutes when I try to take control,
Truth be told.

The crisis of me, my identity in blood.
How spineless of me to think I don't have the guts.
I won't be toothless and I'll finally be enough.
Oh, I know.

I am so destitute when I'm holding out for a soul.
I deal in absolutes when I try to take control.
My body follows suit when the winter gets so cold,
Truth be told.

Colder Streams

supported by 9 fans who also own “Truth Be Told”

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
