Sit This One Out
Solomon Burke
The night's getting old
And your eyes are weary
You can't see clearly
And your nerves are thin
A half eaten meal
And a tear on the table
We don't seem able
To hold and hang
Chorus:
Love sometimes
Takes the form of frustration
It's a sad combination
Of emptiness and doubt
When our only human connection
Is expressed with a shout
Well, I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out
There was a time
When we could sit and talk about things together
No, we didn't shout about things at all
We'd laugh, we'd love, we'd play
And say what we have to say
But there's nothing to do now
And I don't have a clue how to rise above it all
Chorus:
Love sometimes
Takes the form of frustration
It's a sad combination
Of emptiness and doubt
But our only human connection
Is expressed with a shout
Well, I think I'm gonna have to sit this one out
Well, I know you understand what we've talked about
Chorus:
Love sometimes
Takes on the form of frustration
A sad combination
Of emptiness and doubt
But our only human connection
Is expressed with a shout, hey!
Good god of mine
I think I'm yet gonna have to sit down and sit this one out
Let me say it again:
I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out
Can I rise above it all?
I don't even have a clue
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna fall
Sometimes just hold on, don't let go
Don't give up of everything that you worked for so long
Don't destroy your self in a second
With anger
Hold on. A change will come
I just wanna say:
I think I'm gonna have to sit and work this one out
