In the Depths

Words; Jim Feldman Music: Howard Kranz

G C D G C D G C G C G

There’s a hole that found me long ago Why I didn’t see I was in it I don’t know

D C D C

It has since defined my life, lost me health, career, a wife During the many years I just let it grow

G C D G C D G C G C G

Now I’ve climbed up to the edge still staring down Pity me but the world keeps spinning around

D C D C

So I sniffle to my feet, it can be tamed but it can’t be beat I use the excavated dirt as a mound

D C

Chorus: If I could see back then what age, humility, patience has subsequently shown

D7 G Em C

I could have set aside my pride, felt what was deep inside

D Em C

Who knows how I would have turned, how many bridges I would not have burned

D C Am D G C D G

Whether my kids would have gotten their chance to shine all their own

G C D G C D G C G C G

There were many things I tried to set me free Substances, God and flight to name ‘bout 63

D C D C

In the end it’s down to one, if I find it it’s still undone I’ll move on because I know it’s part of me

G C D G C D

It’s kind of scary to think of what might have been

G C G C G

Had I busted free my life path would have a different end

D C

Maybe scuffling as a NY musician, landing a more powerful corporate position

D C

Or suburban life just drinking with some friends

CHORUS

G C D G C D G C G C G

There’s a hole that found me long ago Why I couldn’t see I was in it I don’t know

D C

It has since directed my life, to a fruitful career, a loving wife

D C

During the many years I just let it grow

D C

During the many years I was not in control.

D C

During the many years it consumed my soul.
