black coffee on the table

Less Than Jake

If only my problems were like water
they could be boiled away
and watching the steam drift upward,
watching my problems drift away.
And watch the steam turn and twist,
watch it all drift away.
Look how it rises and lifts
watch my problems drift away.
If only my problems were like water
they all could be washed away
and watch the water go downward
watch it all go down the drain.
