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
