lyrics

So much for all the "someday"'s
Tomorrow's come and gone away
And all the wild winds have had their run
Like mad men chasing the sun

And in the night when the willows weep
The sad meadow in the breeze, she sways
My baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me how to pray

No one knows, no one cares no more
About the way things oughtta be
So my baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me to turn the other cheek

I don't know where the moon goes
When the world turns its eyes closed
But I can still see far and wide
Across the ocean up and down that skyline

And all the hands they are filled with desire
And all the hills, they're a-rollin' in fire
So my baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me to walk the wire

No one knows, no one cares no more
About the way things oughtta be
So my baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me to turn the other cheek

All the signs on the streets, they say
To turn right, but they lead you the wrong way
They're pulling strings up in your mind now
You came in walkin' but you're leaving with your head on the ground

It's so easy just to follow the lead
Like lemmings to the cliffs we creep
But my baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me to march my own beat

No one knows, no one cares no more
About the way things oughtta be
So my baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me to turn the other cheek

All the castles that were built to stand
Beneath the hell of a hurricane hand
Well they crumble to the ground like sand
And now we learn to tip toe through a sleeping land

And I don't know just where the hell I'll be
When all the kings fall from their seats
But my baby gonna teach me
How to live like the blind and to never see

No one knows, no one cares no more
About the way things oughtta be
So my baby gonna teach me
She's gonna teach me to turn the other cheek

about

Josh Ward Taylor New York, New York

Taylor is one of many contemporary singer-songwriters who plants one foot firmly in the roots of artists such as Bob Dylan and Neil Young while at the same time pushing forward with his own unique voice. And Taylor’s particular voice so imbued with a sense of honesty and earnestness that it is almost impossible not to welcome each of his songs with open arms.-American Songwriter ... more
