Borrowed Tune

I'm climbin' this ladder,

My head in the clouds

I hope that it matters,

I'm havin' my doubts.I'm watchin' the skaters

Fly by on the lake.

Ice frozen six feet deep,

How long does it take?I look out on peaceful lands

With no war nearby,

An ocean of shakin' hands

That grab at the sky.I'm singin' this borrowed tune

I took from the rolling stones,

Alone in this empty room

Too wasted to write my own.
