This one is different... R&B rhythm... don't know where it came from..but I'm glad it did.
Just Keep On Counting
Oh….
Tell me why I , oh I, tell me why I feel the need.
To put a price on my heart… just watching it bleed.
Gold runnin like water straight from my veins to the floor….
Take this chain from my fingers, can’t take anymore…
Oh, oh oh…
I gotta feel my heart beating, take it down, on down.
It’s just myself I am cheating, watching my spirit drown.
I see the stars fallin on treetops, so high above…
Oh I, I am counting the teardrops, the cost of your love.
I hear the change in my pocket, ching a ling a linging…
It sets my head spinning, can’t hear the song I am singing…
Thinkin bout the way your smile makes me melt inside…
It’s just too bad that I can’t afford the ride….
Oh, oh oh…
I gotta feel my heart beating, take it down, on down.
It’s just myself I am cheating, watching my spirit drown.
I see the stars fallin on treetops, so high above…
Oh I, I am counting the teardrops, the cost of your love.
And I just keep on counting the pennies, the quarters and dimes…
Wishing the world would stop spinning while I’m singing my rhymes.
My head swims with the knowledge, the knowledge of hope going down the drain…
So sad when pieces of worthless change are all that remain…
And so…here I go again…
I gotta feel my heart beating, take it down, on down.
It’s just myself I am cheating, watching my spirit drown.
I see the stars fallin on treetops, so high above…
Oh I, I am counting the teardrops, the cost of your love.
The cost of your love… oh oh oh oh.. on down the drain.. tears fallin like rain from my eyes on down.. just keep counting the pennies and dimes… I’ve recounted way too many times.. just too many times… just keep on countin.. (fade out…)
