Borrowed Tune Lyrics

I'm climbin' this ladder My head in the clouds I hope that it matters I'm havin' my doubts I'm watchin' the skaters Fly by on the lake Ice frozen six feet deep How long does it take? I look out on peaceful lands With no war nearby An ocean of shakin' hands That grab at the sky I'm singin' this borrowed tune He took from the Rolling Stones Alone in this empty room Too wasted to write my own I'm climbin' this ladder My head in the clouds I hope that it matters
