lyrics to Paloma by Carbon Leaf
Been meaning to post this for a few days. I love this song and I really love the lyrics. Especially right now. I know a few people, myself included, that I can apply them to. Take a listen (but don't watch, it'll ruin it) at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8S7sQgXlb9Q
Chase the high ground
Where you'd rather be, where you might be found
Face all aglow
To leave from here, to pack up and go
But it takes some time to get away
You will have to build from what remains
To run it takes the courage of a lamb
To love, the fierceness of a storm
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder and everyone's staring but no one is caring for you now
just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
just take the leap and you're free
Chase the higher ground
Where you'd rather be, where you might be found
This move may erase the troubles in your head
or expose the absence of your soul
And so it takes some time to get away
you will have to tear down what remains
And I can't stand by for goodbyes
so hold on to me or lead the way
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder and everyone's staring but no one is caring for you now
just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
just take the leap and you're free
Pace yourself when outrunning fear
Take cover when it's dark and keep an even keel
In your world you're only a phone away
but in my world you're too far to feel
And it may take some time to learn what's real
You may have to beg and borrow and you will surely steal
Remember all those lonely lessons turned into yesterday's lessons
To never forget love, to never forget love
Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder and everyone's staring but no one is caring for you now
just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze
just take the leap and you're free
Paloma you cry out you beg for connection
Dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction
now you're free
now that you're, you're free
now that you're, you're free
Today I watched the greatest thing of all
A flock of birds preparing for the fall
...
