Trying Not To Think About It Lyrics
Trying Not To Think About It
Southern California is bad for the soul
And New York City takes its toll
The Mississippi River has a mean undertow
How can I sheild myself from the things that I hear
I want to close my eyes and sleep for a year
Tell me that it's only a dream
That it's a nightmare
Trying not to think about it,
Trying not to think about it.
How can your mother be so strong
When her only baby is gone
I don't know where you are
Everything is wrong
So I'm trying not to think about it,
Trying not to think about it.
And New York City takes its toll
The Mississippi River has a mean undertow
How can I sheild myself from the things that I hear
I want to close my eyes and sleep for a year
Tell me that it's only a dream
That it's a nightmare
Trying not to think about it.
When her only baby is gone
I don't know where you are
Everything is wrong
Trying not to think about it.

This song is about Jeff Buckley...lately I'm on a Jeff Buckley kick, which happens about every three months or so; I love him so much...this time around I decided to try and find all the songs that have been written or dedicated or inspired by Jeff, and in my research, this song came up, and I think it's beautiful and sweet...something Jeff would appreciate.
Beautiful song... totally underated..... why did it only come out on a single????
