Staying Power Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm running, looking over my own shoulder
At the fool out on the road just getting older
And I’m cut like all the diamonds in my mind
Is that all there is?
Such a lonely prize
At all?
[Chorus]
Does it help you to heel?
To touch your staying power?
Through the fall and the feel
No one lasts forever here
I, I have
I, I have not
I, I have naught, naught, naught
[Verse 2]
I never really meant to come out here
I never really meant to grow old
Moving like a wooden soldier
I never really meant to, never really meant get cold
[Verse 3]
But I'm running, looking over my own shoulder
At the fool out on the cliffs just getting old
And you're soft like all the gold that’s in your sight
Is that all there is?
Such a lonely price - et al
[Chorus]
Does it help it you to heel?
To touch your staying power?
Through the fall and the feel
That no one lives forever here?
I, I have
I, I have not
I, I have, have, have naught
[Bridge]
And how this shiny diamond
And how it shines your eye
And how the glitter is golden
And how it shines your mind
And how this shiny diamond
And how it shines your eye
[Chorus]
Does it help you to heal?
To touch your staying power?
Through the fog and the field
That no one lasts forever here?
I, I have
I have not
I, I have, have, have, have, have naught

There is very little mystery as to what this song is about. The lyrics are not metaphorical. It’s about being a touring musician and trying to survive, to conjure the self discipline to go on without sacrificing sensitivity. How we can become hardened as a result of constantly selling our feelings,...
