A rough take of a new song.
Everything: Tom O'Brien
|
My love and I just moved from Seattle to Oakland, California. We're taking some pretty big risks and so far it has been difficult. But we'll make it somehow.
|
I took you far away from home
From everything that you had known
And I watched you write a letter
To your distant confidante
Saying, "Things could be much better
But I don't know what I want
You are a stranger in this town
But don't you let that bring you down
In a sea of foreign faces
You will one day reach the shore
And the old familiar places we'll return to just once more
And the wild, wild world
Just keeps changing all the time
And you bright, bright girl
Mine is yours and yours is mine
When you feel threatened by the sun
Remember it's the only one
And the rain was not much better
As we cowered in the cold
But the pain was so much bigger
No one showered us with gold
Say you'll always take my hand
And I'll always be your man
from a far, forgotten kingdom
to a one-room rented flat
Living in this inbetweendom
And thank God for all of that
Chorus
