lyrics

Standing Still

(Minister)

Been wasting my life
Walking with my self
Wishing I was someone else
Constant loss leads to constant change
My conscious thoughts are always insane

Now I’ve seen rain but not like this
I never felt so blue
Spent my whole life searching for a home
Now I’m passing thru

I’ve been standing on a sweet lone river
Waiting for a love of mine in a moment in time
I’ve been standing on a sweet lone river
Waiting for a love of mine in a moment in time
I’ve been standing still

Standing Still
Standing Still

There was something on my mind
The day that I cried
Telling stories with nursery rhymes
Throwing books into a burning fire
Erasing knowledge to become a liar

There’s a wind out tonight and it just wont quit
Sparrows on my window sill
I see the whole world passing by
And I’m standing still

I’ve been standing on a sweet lone river
Waiting for a love of mine in a moment in time
I’ve been standing on a sweet lone river
Waiting for a love of mine in a moment in time
I’ve been standing still

Standing Still
Standing Still

Now I’ve seen rain but not like this
I never felt so blue
I see the whole world passing by
Now I’m standing still
I’ve been

Standing Still
Standing Still
Standing Still
