Learning To Use It

lyrics

Learning to use it (C harp, 2nd pos)

So I sit down and wonder
About this thing you make me feel
Any quiet place will be good enough
It's a sweetness when it shows up
It's a bitter aftertaste
I Wonder why it makes me feel so sour

And I can smell it, I can hear it
I can feel it down to my bones
Can't barely handleit, almost loosen it
And now I'm learning to use it, to make me feel good

It's a tingle in my belly
It's like an itch under my skin
Something I'd try to fix with a drink
Still feel blue some mornings
I still like blue better than grey
Guess I've been just growing a taste

And I can smell it, I can hear it
I can feel it down to my bones
Can barely handle it, almost loosen it
And now I'm learning to use it, to make me feel good

Is not that I like trouble
But seems to ease my way somehow
Given my ways are not tzhat complicated
Still feel blue some mornings
Still like blue,, better than grey
Guess I've been just growing a taste

And I can smell it, I can hear it
I can feel it down to my bones
Can't barely handleit, almost loosenit
And now I'm learning to use it to make me feel good
