lyrics

started with thoughts before the words made a sound
(heard it out loud before I wrote it all down)
don’t say the words say what they’re trying to say
(show me how you feel in a different way)
bend the light from your shadow
(sunlight under the sea)
coax the story out of tired old bone
(the story you are trying to be)

~~be willing to grow
~~a patchwork blanket in the snow

It’s not about want it’s what is already there
(in the morning calm you sang it with care)
wanted a sign until the sign was a sign
(didn’t you know that you will always be mine)
cast the dice face your sorrow
(sunlight under the sea)
catch your best breath and let it finally go
(the story you are trying to be)

~~be willing to grow
~~a patchwork blanket in the snow

The beauty of a storm watched from
some place safe and warm.
A soft glow that grows brighter as your thoughts form.

Watched all the stars glow without a step outside
(in all the sun’s light you still cannot hide)
sometimes it’s not real until you say it three times
(sometime sometime sometime)
pull the weight from your shoulders
(sunlight under the sea)
rest your heavy eyes as you place your next step
(the story you are trying to be)

~~be willing to grow
~~a patchwork blanket in the snow

The beauty of a storm watched from
some place safe and warm.
A soft glow that grows brighter as your thoughts form.
