Hour Follows Hour

Hour follows hour like water follows water
 Everything is governed by the rule
 of 'one thing leads to another'
 You can't really place blame
 'cause blame is much too messy
 Someone's bound to get on you
 while you were trying to put it on me
 And don't fool yourself into thinking things are simple
 Nobody's lying still the stories don't line up
 Why do you try to hold on to what you'll never get a hold on?
 You wouldn't try to put the ocean in a paper cup
 'Cause I have had something to prove
 as long as I know there's something that needs improvement
 And you know that every time I move
 I make a woman's movement.
 And first you decide what you've gotta do
 then you go out and do it
 And maybe the most we can do
 is just to see each other through it.
 Hour follows hour like water in a river
 And from one to the next
 We don't know what each hour will deliver
 We just call it like we see it
 Call it out loud as we can
 and then afterwards we call it all water over the dam
 Maybe the moral higher ground
 ain't as high as it seems
 Maybe we are both good people
 who've done some bad things
 I just hope it was okay
 I know it wasn't perfect
 I hope in the end we can laugh
 and say it was all worth it
 'Cause I have had something to prove
 as long as I know something that needs improvement
 And you know that every time I move
 I make a woman's movement
 And first you decide what you've gotta do
 and then you go out and do it
 And maybe the most that we can do
 is just to see each other through it.
 We make our own gravity to give weight to things
 Then things fall and they break and gravity sings
 We can only hold so much is what I figure
 Try and keep our eye on the big picture,
 picture keeps getting bigger.
 And too much is how I love you
 but too well is how I know you
 And I've got nothing to prove this time,
 just something to show you
 I guess I just wanted you to see
 that it was all worth it to me
