lyrics

Nothing 'bout this

sailing down this long narrow road
that leads to destruction
wondering what I could possibly say about you
the only one in the room who's speaking
the only one who's here that you never knew
nothing more that I can do
than say over and over that I'm thinking of you
nothing 'bout this is easy, nothing 'bout this is free

when the call came in we were thinking about dreams of home
hoping with our prayer hats on that nothing would be wrong
all we could do was smoke and drink at the station bar
dissolving some of the fear away before the night got long
little more that I can do
than say over and over that I'm thinking of you

and as high heeled feet crashed through the river of memory
sailing out those boats to the loving horizon
the sound of the little ones was what we could hear
calling back that they'll always know the arms that long for them
it's really all that I can do
to say over and over that I'm thinking of you

I see you walking when the streets are empty
stealing some time you can call your own
and because I know what your smile has cost you
it kindles holy fire within my bones
forgive me if it's all that I can do
to say over and over that I'm thinking of you
