Verse 1
He finds it all so strange
How a simple word could throw
a girl so sideways
Her Father was estranged
and her mama blamed her
for the empty hallways
Chorus
Waiting Waiting waiting on you
Waiting waiting waiting on you
Verse 2
she hides it up her sleeve
All the cookie crumbs are neatly
left beside
As cleaver as she seems
He'll be down the road before
she knew she lost him
Chorus
Bridge
A heart of strive
It's a conjunction on a line
A loyal light
Helps him pass away the time
Chorus

verse 1
shut your eyes
just the prospect of a long goodbye
makes this moment feel a bit down sized
a stranger sighs
up and gone
filled up last night so I'm good for long
til the turn is likely to be wrong
inside his mind
Chorus
the night pulls down upon me
the headlights cut a line
a fuel filled lantern still leaks it shines
it shines
verse 2
long goodbye
proved to be a little bit unkind
especially when you never know your mine
an ember dies
far away
we blew it all and its forever changed
I only wish this bottle swallowed pain
a stranger cries
Chorus

Verse 1
Change wages heavy in a summer sky
Kissed every face before the rained
It never happens it just always is
The blessing happens in the pain
Chorus
I spent every single night and every day
Running away from possibility
And then one day it occurred to me
there's nothing that has certainty
In this life for this life please
Verse 2
Fall colors bring a certain kind of shame
Scattered windblown on the ground
Was bound to happen there's no fighting it
A reckless notion left to drown
Chorus
Verse 3
Chance changes prospects on a summer night
An ember stirs into a flame
It never happened it just always is
It's always nice to leave the game
Oh what a night this is
Oh what a night this is

Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Her Journey

Verse 1
Later on she'll find another
a light as bright as she
pick a stranger in a lighthouse
know that light will find a living thing
Chorus
over and over
she'll make a laughing notion
under cover
you'll take another potion
Verse 2
counties trade and make as follows
older men will cease to trade
stay at home avoid the hallow
it brings things to you that may be saved
Verse 3
Several empty vessels call out
force them out and shut your doors
many hearts are trapped in sorrow
know the ones that only seek out for
Chorus X2

verse 1
We are all the same when we're gathered round the pain
We will hunker down
We will glorify a name
verse 2
And it holds a truth
In a time we never knew
Stories passed on down
Now I'll share them all with you
Chorus
All this feels like
You're losing something inside you
But when all things are realized
You're gaining something inside you.
Just look around the room
verse 3
Now your going home
Such a long life you've known
You can rise up now
You can walk the final road
verse 4
When were old and grey
If we live to see that day
May they gather round
May they cherish us this way

verse 1
Dreaming on New Amsterdam
Smoky city lights
In the night I hear her calling
will it come over me
verse 2
Yesterday a master plan
Not a will in site
Now the sun is swiftly falling
Will it come over me
chorus
Feels like it's far beyond today
There's a voice calling
Breathing is slowing
A light is dimly glowing
Will it come over
Will it come over me
bridge
Still life is glowing
My time here is waning
I left you darling
Without saying goodbye
Saying goodbye
Saying goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
verse 3
Dreaming on New Amsterdam
cold and dreary night
I've come right to my ending
It has come over
It has come over me

Last stop

Verse 1
the page needs a voice
I write down every word
it's no simple choice
nothing here is heard
I 'm waiting restlessly
verse 2
A mind comes unfurled
it steals the very salt
in another world
I love without fault
this is my last stop
Chorus
Long lives
for we wait
some come in time
for mine
I'll know the sanctity of
everyone's crime
and still I wait
a train leaves here today
i wait
the line surely departs
I wait
squeezed out the last drop
this is my last stop

The rescue

verse 1
Another day just passed us by
pulling reins upon valentines
a seesaw a day to day piecemeal of roses
run away from love it does
still I stay in love because of you
holding me as if loved for the last time
Chorus 1
When will the change come to stay
when will you see that I love you
when will you trust in this love
then you'd see that its perfect
and you'll know that I love you
for today was the day that our love was rescued
Verse 2
Older days had robbed you blind
in the ways that screw your mind
I joined in the ranks before you ever knew me
run away from love it does
still I stay in love because of us knowing now
this is love for the last time
Chorus 2
today was the day that it changed
now that you see that I love you
now you can trust in this love
and you see that its perfect
and you know that I love you
for today was the day that our love was rescued

So hard to find
03:00

Verse 1
Pick a line choose a make
The one that makes you feel safe
you know it's so hard to find
In a time and a place
Where it's a bloody disgrace
I know these ways will unwind
pre-chorus
Shall I go to find a way
To change a point if view for sake
to ratify a call to change
A founding father to arrange
Chorus
Stay with me right to the end
Just like my Mercedes Benz
You know it's so hard to find
A flock of sheep will still tend
I'll share it all to my friends
Like we have nothing but time
Verse 2
For a dime on the chase
Another walk street mistake
Now that's not so hard to find
Walk the line set the pace
Just shake the tree so it breaks
It's just a matter of time
PreChorus
Chorus
