lyrics

Enough to Go On
Chris Velan

I ran into you this morning
You appeared without a warning
Bags of groceries hanging off both arms
We stood there not knowing what to say
Then you smiled in your old way
And stepped aside to let the people through

We lobbed questions like a ball
Haven’t seen you round at all
It’s been ages, tell me what’s new
The whole time we were talking
I was thinking
Have I been slowly sinking
For longer than I care to believe is true

You were halfway down the street
Before I found my feet again
And what I could not explain to you
I’m on the trail of something new
It shows up just like you and then it’s gone

But it’s enough, it’s enough
It’s enough to go on
It’s enough, it’s enough
It’s enough to go on

I slept through the second coming
In my car with the engine running
While everybody paid their dues
Now I’m walking like a stranger through your town
With everything shut down
And I am wondering how I could have missed the clues

There’s a picture in my mind
I’ve been traveling back to find again
I can’t recall why it was gorgeous to my soul
When I try to paint it, it comes out badly drawn

But it’s enough, it’s enough
It’s enough to go on
It’s enough, it’s enough
It’s enough to go on

And maybe the next time we collide again
I will have the words then
And if the day won’t be redeemed
I will live off what I’ve gleamed
If it’s meager but it’s true I will give some back to you
It may barely keep us held until the dawn

But it’s enough, it’s enough
It’s enough to go on
It’s enough, it’s enough
It’s enough to go on
