Iris DeMent My life (Iris DeMent) My life, it don't count for nothing when I look at this world I feel so small My life, it's only a season a passing September that no one will recall But I gave joy to my mother and I made my lover smile and I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting and I can make it seem better for a while My life, it's half the way traveled and still I have not found my way out of this night My life, it's tangled in wishes and so many things that just never turned out right But I gave joy to my mother and I made my lover smile and I can give comfort to my friends when they're hurting and I can make it seem better for a while (c) 1993 Songs of Iris ASCAP
