The Day the Bloodroot Bloomed

The Day the Bloodroot Bloomed

Well I’ve been swimming 

Through dark waters.

And I’ve trying to keep myself out of the gutter

And I know that my life, well it’s far from clean.

It’s been love or loss and not much in between

 

And as the winter fell, that’s when I lost my heart

Searching room to room for you, is the hardest part.

And I know that you are gone. I hope I'm better soon.

From when we laid you down on the day the bloodroot bloomed
 

And I remember when I was the floor crying over you

Time went by like it always does.

It left me feeling blue.
 

And as the winter fell, that’s when I lost my heart

Searching room to room for you, is the hardest part.

And I know that you are gone. I hope I'm better soon.

From when we laid you down on the day the bloodroot bloomed

Just Another Morning

I thought of everything I’d tell you

If you ever walked my way 

Like all the things I’d like to work through

If you give me another day
 

We have time and miles between us 

It’s getting harder every year.

Yeah to ease the distance and try to see if

For me you’d shed a tear 

 

I let my dreams get the best of me at times.

But you’re always there 

So I guess I just don’t mind

Like having just another morning 

One that could last us for the rest of our days

But you’re gone and it’s right where you belong.

 

Well all I have are pictures of two lovers standing still

In a moment in time that’s been hard to find 

I think I’m dying on this hill
 

I gotta window down in the summer heat.

I know you always loved the sun

Is there a word I could say that could make you think

That maybe you and I aren’t done.

 

I let my dreams get the best of me at times.

But you’re always there 

So I guess I just don’t mind

 

Like having just another morning 

One that could last us for the rest of our days

But you’re gone and it’s right where you belong

Broken Doors

I’ve been holding on the best I can

With all the things you went and said

And I’ve trying to keep myself in check 

Before I lose it all.

 

I hear my father’s words in my head

With a little anger’s how you were bred

And I’ve studied pain in the books I’ve read

And I guess I’ve had it easy 
 

But I won’t lie 

I feel plenty of pain almost all the time

And I know I’ll die

One day the rains will take me and I’ll be fine

And this old world I’ll leave behind

I’ll be gone but I won’t be blind

I'll be seeing you again

I’ve been banging on these broken doors

I’ve been turning knobs expecting more

I’ve been out to sea trying to find the shore

That’s been my own work to do.

 

And I’ll finally see my resting place

I’ll take my seat there on the train

Let the engine take my soul away

I’ll have the key to every door.
 

But I won’t lie 

I feel plenty of pain almost all the time

And I know I’ll die

One day the rains will take me and I’ll be fine

And this old world I’ll leave behind

I’ll be gone but I won’t be blind

I'll be seeing you again

Forgiven

Well I’m good at building walls that surround myself

And losing my head in these moments I know so well

Well it’s straight to the point 

 

And I’m sorry my heart isn’t softened enough. 

It was torn out some time ago and left on a bus

Heading nowhere

Yeah I’m afraid of love.

 

Well I know that you’re out there

So darling I hope I’m forgiven 

And I’m trying to keep busy 

But I can help but think how you’re living 

I guess I wonder do you ever think of me.

 

We let time go by but never did we waste it

And I know I have fears and I’ve never faced em’

But I’m trying, that’s more than ever before.

 

It’s a shame to walk away from what we have built 

And to promise through the pain that I feel in myself

Well it owns me 

And I lost control

 

Well I know that you’re out there

So darling I hope I’m forgiven 

And I’m trying to keep busy 

But I can help but think how you’re living 

I guess I wonder do you ever think of me

 

Let me know

Let me know 

If you’re going 

 

Let me know

Let me know 

If you’re gone


Well I know that you’re out there

So darling I hope I’m forgiven 

And I’m trying to keep busy 

But I can help but think how you’re living 

I guess I wonder do you ever think of me

Queen of Brooklyn

When I close my eyes

I like to think it’s true

That you could belong to me

And I could to you


When you think of our history

The full circle we made

And now in the streets of New York

I’m holding your hand.

 

When I pulled ya near

When I kissed it became clear

That I, love you 

The Queen of Brooklyn

As we walked through the snow

I was searching your eyes

To see what plans you made of made

For me tonight

 

Well our timings just right 

But I guess that we’ll see

Because there’s no telling 

What you and I could be.

 

When I pulled ya near

When I kissed it became clear

That I, love you 

The Queen of Brooklyn

 

That you love me 

The Queen of Brooklyn
