I'm So Open

Cowboy Junkies · Open [2001]

Just outside they're waiting

Just outside the circle

Waiting for that finger to point your way



Just keep runnin'

Just keep runnin'



Young ones quickly burning

Old ones die away

Fires lit to say goodbye or hello



Which way you lookin'

Which way you lookin'



Can't know who that brought you here

Lay your blessing and hand

Rid yourself of all regrets

Because here is where it all began



Bumblers gain, cheaters win

Where the winner pays the highest cost

You've laid your marker, now watch the ball

Hold your breath, it's about to fall



Just outside they're waiting

Just outside the circle

Waiting there is someone, I don't know who



I'm so open

I'm so open



I don't sleep most nights

Just lie awake and count my blessings

I keep this endless life

Of perfect hopeless mourning

I hold you till morning comes

It's all that I can do

I'm so open

I'm so open

I don't like this last goodbye

I don't like goodbye
