lyrics

The dark of the morning
A chill like a warning
And the lock frozen in your car door
And winter has only begun
But you can’t stand no more
Just hoping the doubt
Will just wash itself out
Like the shore
And spring will return
Bringing gifts to adorn and adore

You live with your mother
Your sisters your brother
And traditions that once meant so much
A sense of belonging
But now there is no such crutch
These days have stripped
All the prayers from your lips
And the gentleness
From your touch
Just hanging on faith
Though you wouldn’t define it as such

You come from the coast
It’s memory’s a ghost
And it haunts when you’re reminiscing
And the accent you carry is slight
But you can hear it when you sing
Your beauty so fair
And the shine of your hair and
Your bracelets all handwoven strings
Confessions so bare
Fingers dressed with rings

Your brother was my friend
But when I loved you then
He tried so hard to keep me from you
I was taking you out in the world
That’s all I could do
And he loves you dearly
But he never saw clearly
Why you’d wanna go chase
something new
There’s a lot to believe
Or to doubt
And it’s all up to you

If you feel estranged
Like you wait in the rain
For an answer to appear in the sky
It’s never that easy
You gotta go out and try
There’s well-disguised fools who’ll just
Spin out your spool
And they’ll leave you there
Tangled in string
I know your heart
And you will do the right thing
Sweet Bilinda
