TUMBLING

TUMBLING MINDS, TUMBLING HEARTS

THAT ARE TOSSED AND TORN EACH DAY,

THEY REMIND ONE OF THE TUMBLE WEEDS

THAT ARE OFTEN BLOWN ASTRAY.

TUMBLING EMOTIONS, TUMBLING FEELINGS,

WHAT MUST THEY DO FOR THIS DAY?

I KNOW THEY WANT TO SETTLE DOWN,

AND REST FROM TUMBLING AWAY.

TUMBLING, TUMBLING ALWAYS TUMBLING,

NEVER ALLOWED TO GET SOME SLEEP,

HEARTS ARE BROKEN FROM THE TUMBLING,

MY EYES DO CONSTANTLY WEEP.

MAYBE WHEN I REACH DEATH'S DOOR

AND TUMBLE RIGHT ON THROUGH,

THEN YOU SHALL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND,

THIS TUMBLING HEART LOVED YOU.
