From the recording Drifting Through the Corners
Lyrics
Staring at a horizon of melting sun
A sky set on fire turns earth to orange
As we lie on our backs in this painted dome
You start to cry
And I say why why
Why would you think about anything or anytime
Except for right here and now
I can see in your eyes
There is no answer you can provide
Somewhere your heart’s still in there
Though it’s buried in the salt mines of your dried tears
Though it’s lost in the wasteland of your worst years
If we dig in we’ll find it I swear we will
There are some smiles in you yet
Though it might take a while we can find them still
We can work on your smile muscles with this kiss
I’m gonna get you through this
You’ll be fine girl
You’ll be fine
I swear you’ll be fine girl
You’ll be fine
A human being’s a crazy thing
So capable of wonder
Yet damaged so easily
I just wonder if you can see
That the damage has got you beat
And I say why why
Why won’t you take all of the good things and the bad things
And mix them to wisdom please
You could take this opportunity
To own your pain and let it give you strength girl
I know we can get through this
Your life is not predestined
It’s all what you make of it
You’ve got to step to the edge
Take a leap fly away
I know I can take you away
I know it’ll all be ok
