From the recording Moke Ivey Volume 1
Lyrics
Too Tired
Words and Music by Jon Mark Ivey and Kristin Wilkinson
I see you standing at the door
I wanna hold you
But my hands are tied once more
You say you’re leaving
I watch you drive away
I’m too tired to climb this wall between us
I’m too tired to cross that bridge
We had dreams and we made plans
I remember a time when we held the world in our hands
In my mind I’m pleading stay
But the tongue gets tied in so many ways
I’m too tired to climb this wall between us
I’m too tired to cross that bridge
Brick by brick we built a wall we can’t undo
Words can’t fix
What’s wrong with me or wrong with you
But I won’t take the fall for you
Looking back it all seems clear
We both had a choice, that’s why we wound up here
God knows I tried to wash away your memory with a few
But I’m too tired to climb this wall between us
I’m too tired to cross that bridge
That bridge
That bridge
Oh
