The Guess Who - Of a Dropping Pin lyrics

(Bachman/Cummings)

Can I be somewhere when I'm nowhere

Gaze through a diabetic eye

Can I put down the right to be put down

And never known the right to try

I'd leave and take my pride with me

And find something I could carry it in

But all that breaks the stillness here

Is the sound of a dropping pin.

From the silence

Deep within

Comes the sound

The sound of a dropping pin.

From the silence

Deep within

Yeah, deep deep within

Comes the sound

The sound of a dropping pin.

Can I be something when I'm nothing

Build my hopes and dreams too high

I've searched too long for all the answers

Let alone the right to try

To think that you can take it with you

Is the one unforgiveable sin

But all that breaks the stillness now

Is the sound of a dropping pin.

From the silence

Deep within

Comes the sound

The sound of a dropping pin.

From the silence

Deep within

Yeah, deep deep within

Comes the sound

The sound of a dropping pin
