Eric Blake - One Way to Choose Lyrics

Five long years we painted dreams on the riverbank
All I ever seemed to live for were those dreams we had
What am I doin' since the day that I was left alone?
Without the rhythm in my back I don't know where to go
I try to move my feet but I am chained up to my bones
Till now I've always found a way to escape it all
Whereto I am drifting now
They say that I've reached the ground
No I, I cut my, my way through
There's nothing I can do
Than to step out and play the blues
'Cause what can a poor boy do
With just one way to choose
Will I ever find a way to achieve it all
Will there ever be someone who understands the struggle
No, everybody thinks that I'm the one who's gonna make it
Deep inside I'm still the child that I have ever been
My only enemy is the time running away from me
The only thing that cheers my up is when my love's around
Whereto I am drifting now
They say that I've reached the ground
No I, I cut my, my way through
There's nothing I can do
Than to step out and play the blues
'Cause what can a poor boy do
With just one way to choose
Yeah, the dreams I had as a child are still the same today
Now look what she did to these dreams
Alone again
What a shame
No, no, no
I, I cut my, my way through
There's nothing I can do
Than to step out and play the blues
Well what can a poor boy do
Except to sing and play the blues
With just one way to choose
