1
Well, I'm lost today, I'm almost wandering
2
back to the door that slammed in my face,
3
oh but here I am, here I am, here I stay...
4
But when will the street signs stop pointing west,
5
when will my thoughts stop drifting like smoke
6
over the ridge to the trail we used to walk?...
7
Oh does it sound familiar?
8
The whole thing fades to black
9
and then you're waiting, waiting for it to burn again...
10
Well, I'm lost today, I wont' deny it,
11
I'm going to lay down and wait for the compass rose
12
under my skin to start to glow
13
But look how the sun has painted the trees,
14
all these colors never known to them,
15
colors never know to their leaves...
16
I'd like to sing like that
17
Oh does it sound familiar?
18
The whole thing fades to black
19
and then you're waiting, waiting for it to burn again...
20
But I know that someday, someday,
21
I'll offer up the song I was made to play
22
until even the mocking birds
23
don't know what to say
24
and the mornings just make sense, sense, oh yeah...
25
And where the dawn went I don't know
26
just hang a white flag out the window,
27
until the sunlight shines through it,
28
well is it morning yet?
29
I'm lost today, here I am wandering,
30
it's late and I'm sure noticing
31
the crook of my arm is lonely...
32
But look how the snow has painted the town
33
so that all of the street light
34
is dancing, dancing around...
35
I'd like to love like that
36
Does it sound familiar?
37
But I know that someday, someday,
38
I'll offer up my Sunday afternoons
39
until the rocking chairs have gone
40
and worn right through the paint on the porch floor
41
and we're grey and grey and gone, gone, gone...
Barn Song, Chris Pureka and Gregory Alan...
