Thanks to You - Boz Scaggs

Thanks to you

I’ve got a reason to get outta bed make a move or two

Thanks to you

There’s a net below cause otherwise well I don’t know

And thanks to you

There are promises of laughs and loves and labyrinths

And reason to suspect that I’m meant for this

A smile a song a tender kiss

Thanks to you

Thanks to you

There’s a thing I think I know

I really mean or variations on that theme

Thanks to you

I have time to turn time to cool and time to burn

And thanks to you

There’s something suddenly too good to miss

In other words a way through this

And just when one might feel so perfectly alone

There’s someone else’s stuff to trip on besides ones own

Thanks to you

One can only guess what happens next

As it is I balk and stumble through a world gone quite absurd

Dodging shadows lurching through the rain

I’m not complaining but I’m caught

With or without you I’d have to get through this anyway

So where does the genius go when business is slow

And even dreaming has a way of scheming to get you down

Likely off at some chateau so how would he know

It gets as lonely up there as anywhere

Where moving over to make room once seemed impossible

It’s not impossible

That one handed applause

That unspoken word

That treefall in the forest someone finally heard

Thanks to you
