Has a modern classic feel, in fine voice and performance Robert!

LYRICS:
Stones in my pockets, dragging me down.
Got to reach the riverbank before I drown
I'm wading through water, it's deep and it's brown.
I've got stones in my pockets
Dragging me down, down, down.

I'm spinning my wheels
Driving on sand
Don't seem to move forwards,
And I can't understand.
I had gold, I had silver but they slipped right through my hands.
I'm spinning my wheels
I'm driving on quicksand.

   Politics and preachers, dividends and deeds.
   I'm sickening slowly with the modern disease.
   I don't belong here, I'm down on my knees.
   Somebody help me, help me please.

I'm walking in circles, drifting around
Tell me where I come from, tell me where I'm bound
And the dreams I've been chasing have been run into the ground.
I'm walking in circles
Spinning around.
Stones in my pocket
Dragging me down.
Stones in my pocket
Dragging me down, down, down, down, down.
