Borrowed Tune Lyrics

I'm climbin' this ladder
My head in the clouds
I hope that it matters
I'm havin' my doubts

I'm watchin' the skaters
Fly by on the lake
Ice frozen six feet deep
How long does it take?

I look out on peaceful lands
With no war nearby
An ocean of shakin' hands
That grab at the sky

I'm singin' this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own

I'm climbin' this ladder
My head in the clouds
And I hope that it matters
