Lyrics: Hour Follows Hour

hour follows hour like water follows water
everything is governed by the rule of one thing
leads to another
you can't really place blame
cuz blame is much too messy
some was bound to get on you
while you were trying to put it on me

don't fool yourself
into thinking things are simple
nobody's lying and still the stories don't line up
why do you try to hold on to
what you'll never get a hold on
you wouldn't try to put the ocean in a paper cup

[i have had something to prove
as long as i've had something that needs improving
and you know that every time i move
i make a woman's movement
first you decide what you've gotta do
then you go out and do it
and maybe the most that we can do
is just to see each other thru it]

hour follows hour like water in a river
and from one to the next we don't know
what each hour will deliver
we just call it like we see it
we call it out loud as we can
and then afterwards we call it all water
over the dam

and maybe the moral high ground
isn't as high as it seems
maybe we are both good people
who've done some bad things
i just hope it was o.k., i know it wasn't perfect
i hope in the end we can laugh and say
it was all worth it

[i have had something to prove
as long as i've had something that needs improving
and you know that every time i move
i make a woman's movement
first you decide what you've gotta do
then you go out and do it
and maybe the most that we can do
is just to see each other thru it]

we make our own gravity
to give weight to things
and then things fall and they break
and gravity sings
we can only hold so much is what i figure
we try and keep our eye on the big picture
and the picture keeps getting bigger

too much is how i love you
but too well is how i know you
i've got nothing to prove this time
just something to show you
i guess i just wanted you to see
that it was all worth it to me
