a funky little ditty about finger pointing.

lyrics

First Drop by Michael Wheatley

Verse 1
I fight with furious fighting fish
Underwater like a crab I grab a seabed dish
In a world of my own invention
I scramble for things that I think I need to mention

Chorus
As the first drop drips
My attention slowly slips
I don’t want to be the one to point the finger
But things will often linger

Hey baby,
Don’t point it at me,
That finger
Hey baby I’m letting you be.
Hey baby,
Don’t point it at me,
That finger,
Hey baby don’t you want to be free?

Verse 2
As I sit and wait for magic to happen
There’s so much that you miss while fingers be tappin
The fish come back to nip at my heel
I steady my heart, my mind, my steel

Chorus

Verse 3
Impressions made in stone so long ago
I long to undo all that I know
Like water and time I wear it away
Getting over and over, memories dim by the day

Chorus

He's the kind of artist who you're lucky to know about and will always remember once you do. ... more
