Song Lyrics:

Kickin A Can

I’m kickin’ a can down the middle of the street
in the middle of the night I’m followin’ my feet
The moon shines down on meas this silent night is baring it’s teeth
the wolf is at the door
but no one’s home
I’m out here kickin a can

I’m kickin a can it rattles in the dark
all is quiet and closed up and I thought I saw a spark
and just around the corner is as dream that’s just achin’ to be found
It’s spooked easily
and though I want to draw it closer to me
I’m kickin’ a can

I’m kickin a can it’s an empty sound
that shatters the silence that has us all bound
Under the cloak of night it echoes harsh and bright
and brings the magic around
until all that’s been lost becomes found
so I’m kickin’ a can

I’m kickin’ a can, it tumbles down the street
it makes a sound out of scale in the silence like a dream
puts me in another mind another soul another time completely
if you want to know what it means
don’t ask me
I’m just kickin’ a can
