Steve Tilston Oil And Water lyrics

I might never pass this way again,

I might never get to sing you this song.

By the time it turns to day again

Could have packed my dreams and gone.



Oil and water, my wheels are crying out for air.

This old engine is way past tender loving care.

Oil & water don't mix well like whiskey and wine.

Some concoctions just get you no further down the line.




Smoke & Mirrors, we all see what we wish to see.

Sweet illusions, the way we would like things to be.

Smoke & mirrors, the truth gets no easier to read.

Spend a lifetime repaying those things we don't need .



Down the backroads the scarecrows are guarding the corn.

They don't scare the crows or any other creature ever born.

Some say scarecrows have hearts and other feelings too.

If I ever lose my way that's a job I could do.
