lyrics

morning coffee i'm set to going
your hard words ringing in my mind
i can't shake this lonesome feeling
it's okay
i'm doing fine

keep me close
hold me at a distance
it don't change what's down below
you gave me love
you held my hand
you showed me worlds i didn't know

all is quiet in cold Nebraska
i got work through an old friend
i keep your letters
i never read them
i've written a few
i'll never send

sunlight breaks
through the stainglass window
your heart of gold
is buried somewhere deep
i'm living now in these quiet places
i let go of what i can not keep

every season has its reason
every full moon has to wane
i got lost in your constellation
tracing the letters of your name

so many years and i'm still looking
i'm not sure what i hope to find
you can call me lost
say i'm wandering
i walk light
i fall behind

i guess i'll try again tomorrow
lord knows it's not the end
i won't be done in by sorrow
though she's been a constant friend

the sun goes down
but the lights still shining
the candles out but the hearts not spent
call me glad
you can say that i'm lucky
i learned to bow
i learned to bend
