Traction In The Rain    (David Crosby)


It's hard enough I know
to find the strength to go
back to were it all began

It's hard enough to gain
any traction in the rain
You know it's hard for me to understand

Hard to find a way
to get through another city day
without thinking about
Getting out

Now the strangest thing I've seen
was a t-shirt turning green
In envy, a turtle dove
The dove's lady was the cause
Or maybe it was the olive branch
She held in her claws,
Or maybe he could see they were in love

It's hard to find a way
to get through another city day
without thinking about
Getting out

David Crosby   Atlantic Records 1971
