Borrowed Tune

I'm climbin' this ladder,My head in the cloudsI hope that it matters,I'm havin' my doubts.I'm watchin' the skatersFly by on the lake.Ice frozen six feet deep,How long does it take?I look out on peaceful landsWith no war nearby,An ocean of shakin' handsThat grab at the sky.I'm singin' this borrowed tuneI took from the Rolling Stones,Alone in this empty roomToo wasted to write my own.I'm climbin' this ladder,My heads in the cloudsI hope that it matters.
