Almost Cut My Hair - Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young

I almost cut my hair It was just the other day It was, it was gettin' kinda long I could've a-said it was in my way But I didn't and I wonder why Goin' to let my freak flag fly You know, I feel like I owe it to someone Must be because I had the flu for Christmas And I'm not feelin' up to par It increases my paranoia Like lookin' in my mirror and seein' a lit-up police car But I'm not givin' in an inch to fear I promised myself this year I feel like I owe it To someone When I finally get myself together Get down in some sunny Southern weather Find a space inside to laugh Separate the wheat from the chaff 'Cause I feel like I owe it To someone

You don't text me anymore I wished it would've helped you text back sooner Thought I opened up a door I guess I closed the one that kept our future Why am I always the one that does the changing? I lost myself tryna fix what's wrong, while you go do the same things I wish I never cut my hair, or called all night Never let you love the songs I liked I always get too close, then let me down I wish I never let us fall out I wish I never grew it out the way you'd say 'Cause now I'm so damn close to goin' insane When I look in my camera everyday I wish I never let us fall out Still got my hoodie in your drawer I know you wear it often as I'm gone I guess you take the things you want And leave me feeling like the lonely one Why am I always the one that does the changing? I lost myself tryna fix what's wrong, while you go do the same things I wish I never cut my hair, or called all night Never let you love the songs I liked I always get too close, then let me down I wish I never let us fall out I wish I never grew it out the way you'd say 'Cause now I'm so damn close to goin' insane When I look in my camera everyday I wish I never let us fall out Wish I knew better than to take your crying As a sign for me to change I gave my all, and now I'm barely fine with The memories hovering on my face Wish I knew better than to take your crying As a sign for me to change I gave my all, and now I'm barely fine with The things I do everyday I wish I never cut my hair, or called all night Never let you love the songs I liked I always get too close, then let me down I wish I never let us fall out I wish I never grew it out the way you'd say 'Cause now I'm so damn close to goin' insane When I look in my camera everyday I wish I never let us fall out I wish I never let us fall out

Often I am upset That I cannot fall in love But I guess This avoids the stress of falling out of it Are you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now, but I swear When I'm ready I will fly us out of here Cut, cut hair Leave Cut my hair Cut, cut hair Strangely he feels at home in this But strangely he feels at home in this Often I am upset That I cannot fall in love But I guess This avoids the stress of falling out of it Are you, you tired of me yet? I'm a little sick right now, but I swear When I'm ready I will fly us out of here Cut, cut hair Leave Cut my hair Cut, cut my hair Strangely he feels at home in this But strangely he feels at home in this

I have wasted ten years in a blind-fold, Ten-fold more than I've invested now in sight. I have traveled beveled mirrors in a fly crawl, Losing the reflection of a fight. But like a compass seeking north, (seeking north). There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part. Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (clouds of doubt). By the lightning and the thunder Shining from the compass of my heart (shining from my heart). I have flown the frantic flight of the bat-wing And only known the dark because of that I have seized death's door-handle Like a fish out of the water Waiting for the mercy of the cat. But like a compass seeking north, (seeking north). There lives in me a still, sure, spirit part. Clouds of doubt are cut asunder (clouds of doubt). By the lightning and the thunder Shining from the compass of my heart (shining from my heart).

There's a ship And it sails a sea of light On it's way to me tonight From a distant shore Taking me home once more And the waves And the whistling of the wind Make me come alive again My destiny's at my door Gonna leave this town forever And go where I'll never Need an overcoat no more Where they cry Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel There's a girl And I see her dressed in white As she lies there in the night I can hear her cry Where has he gone and why? But she knows That someday he will arrive And it keeps her love alive Dreams can never die She looks across the ocean At sails in motion In the early morning sky Where they cry Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel Angels of the water, sirens of the sea Whispering their sweet love songs Calling out to me Ooh lalalala, every night and every day Sitting by the Gulf coast just a thousand miles away Where they cry Ooh lalalala, on an island I will dwell Starlit nights in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel Spend my life in paradise on the Isle of Sanibel
