Richard Ashcroft › Lyrics › Lord I've Been Trying

Lord, I've been trying
Trying to keep myself from crying
And it gets hard, there's no use denying
There's been some nights when I did a little lying

Sure feels like I've been here before, oh
Yes, it sure feels like I've been here before

Captain, tell me where I've been
Are there waves left there for me?
Is there something left to see?
Is there something left to be?

Oh, I know that I'm holding on
But I've got time to grow
Alright, alright, alright
Said, it's alright, now, yeah

Days that I've been spending
And all these blues, they're never ending
And it gets hard, and life will go on again
Gonna shake off these blues, I'm leaving them now

Sure feels like I've been here before, oh
Yes, it sure feels like I've been here before

Captain, tell me where I've been
Are there waves left there for me?
Can you see the warning sign
Flashing there in my mind?

My mind is free and
I'm talking up to you
I say, "Alright, alright, alright"

(I've been trying)
It feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels good, it feels good
(To keep my soul from crying)
My love is alright now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh, I've been trying)

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it feels right
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it feels right
