Posting Sarah Harmer lyrics b/c she's an underrated awesome artist and I relate to these songs to a T
It's perfectly suited
this uniform grey
there are no bearings
to the day
I came down from the air
and I'll leave by boat
I'm down with your rainy town
out on the spit
with the biggest port around
my friend is on the way
he's bringing my coat
Oh you don't do, what I want you to
but I haven't been
through what you've been through
and we could use that
as an excuse
if that's what you choose
if that's what you choose...
Well it was kinda hard
to pull away
he said "Buck up baby, it's okay
the sunlight on the floor will always fall."
And I meant to write it on the plane
high above my earthly pain
but I slept right through the flight
and that was all
Oh you don't do, what I want you to
but I haven't been
through what you've been through
and we could use that
as an excuse
if that's what you choose
if that's what you choose
It's perfectly suited
this uniform grey
there are no bearings
to the day
I came down from the air
and I'll leave by boat
I'm down in your rainy town
in the spare room
With the biggest port around
my friend is on the way
he's bringing my coat
he's bringing my coat
he's bringing my coat
And "Took It All"- this one has a new meaning to me now. Lyrics seem plain, but are meaningful
You said, I could have it all
You said it to me
With your eyes so wide, excited
I stopped to see what you mean
In the drone of afternoon traffic
On a slope that's slippery
In the relative fear, invited
That keeps us company
We took it all, without taking it away
We shook it, it didn't blow up in our face
This life's abundancy came clear to me
These hands are holding a kite of worry
That floats high and circles a pivot of fear
In the wind are the words that say, there's no time hurry
So we grab what we can we think the end is near
We took it all, without taking it away
We shook it, it didn't blow up in our face
This life's abundancy came clear
We can get back up, we can move from this ground
To where there is enough of everything
What has opened up this crevice at our feet
Has created a new sense of urgency
Without taking it away, we shook it
It didn't blow up in our face
This life's abundancy came clear
It's perfectly suited
this uniform grey
