Better Than It Was Before

I don't mind the weather
So long as it moves
When you're light as a feather
It wears down your shoes
I know
I done nearly everything
that I could ever hope to do
I know
you give off the feeling
that you're really
only passing through
I know
that you're probably listening
With an ear to the ground
I hope you can hear
that there's no one around
You cling to a fragment
Of a life you once knew
When the weather is stagnant
It's not hard to do
I know
I said all the words
that I could ever really hope to say
I know
the speed
that you're coming you could
only ever drift away
I know
that you're probably listening
With an ear to the floor
With a map
in your hand and
one foot out the door
I hope things are better now than
they were before
I know
that you're probably listening
With an ear to the floor
The wandering footsteps
won't sound anymore
I hope things are better now than
they were before
