One Inch Off the Ground

(Kay Arnold)



Just one inch off the ground.



In my heart there's no desire to go home living

I've lost the only treasure that I ever found

She laughed at me and made fun of my emotions

And always made me feel like one inch off the ground.



So tonight I walked her by a lonesome river

Stopped her laughing with some rope that I had found

I walked away and just left my world a hanging

Her dancing feet barely one inch off the ground.



I look down and see a world of little people

And the lights that lazy cross this lonesome town

It seems that way for thirteen storys is a long way up

Oh, but on second thought it's a long long way down.



For a moment I relive the clinging mem'ries

Of how I loved her how she kicked my heart around

I'm still a fool for my last thoughts will be of her

When I leave this ledge and I'm just one inch off the ground...
