Lyrics of A Different Thread – Over Again

Look how far we have come
From the place where we begun
Looking over my shoulder how I can see

Weʼre just one big family
And the history repeats
Itʼs like your favourite feel-good show on tv

But if you watch it back
Without the laughter track
You know it ainʼt so funny, you know it ainʼt the same

I want a new silver screen
I want a brand new scene
I wanna burn the script, and start it over again

Come on and share
Share in our hopes
Come on and share in our pain
One road is ending
Another road begins
Come on letʼs do it over again

I took a trip out west, St. Louis
To wait for the eclipse
Wet my head in the river so wide
I paid the ferryman to go
He only brought me to and fro
He said Iʼm not ready for the other side

Iʼm like a slate, clean and new
Yeah, I knew just what to do
I gotta shake this sorrow, I gotta break these chains

I know itʼs hard to change your shape
But the circle has to break
And so we try, by and by, to start over again

Look how weʼve come so far
We sleep under the stars
And we dance by the waxing moon

Here on this river bend
We can wet our heads again
A hundred times, or a hundred more

Itʼs not some cheap snake oil
Itʼs not some magic cure-it-all
But even a snake knows when to shed itʼs skin

‘Cause seven years can fly by
Itʼll flash before your eyes
And I just hope you and I can to do it over again

Come on and share
Share in our hopes
Come on and share in our pain
One road is ending
Another road begins
Come on letʼs do it over again
Come on letʼs do it over again
