Isn't It Funny

Man at the river's edge

Thinks of things he should have said

But that was a long time ago

The truth cuts too deep now he's losing his sleep

Over love he should never let go

I picked up the book again

Sat on the floor and then read about body and soul

If truth's found in there what am I doing here

With my life spinning out of control

Isn't it funny how we can't see it (It's so funny)

We're looking right at it but we ain't got it (We can't see it)

We used to know it but we just forgot it oh no (Used to knowit)

Mom's working late again

To close the deal she began

The kids are at home all alone

Daddy's not there he's been gone for two years

But he gives them his love from the phone

Kid in a candy store

Fills his pocket with one more

Then he heads straight for the door

He leaves with a grin 'cause he knows it's no sin

When he thinks that nobody else knows

Isn't it funny when we lose through the years

The best we can do is learn to laugh through the tears

I sit at the river's edge

And think of things I should have said

But that was a long time ago

The truth cuts too deep now I'm losing my sleep

Over love I should never let go
