HEADWATERS

Lyrics

1 / THE WAVE

the water came a mountain tall
washed the wave across it all
and made my heart a waterfall

now every light to guide us gone
lost into the great beyond
but somehow we will carry on
somehow we must carry on

so with cold bent teeth
I will grip the line
I will hold us up
until the flood has dried
I know, today, we will survive

so let the wave wash over me
let the wave wash over me
I am already under
let the wave wash over me

let the wave wash over me
let the wave wash over me
I am already underneath
let the wave wash over me

2 / A MORNING SONG

hard times, no I don’t mind
I can get by, if I got you
blue skies in your blue eyes
dressed in sunshine 'bout to bloom

sweet rhymes in the moonlight
got our tongues tied, missing shoes
sometimes makes me feel like
I wasn't alive fore I met you

here comes love knocking at your door
singin out a mornin’ song
hey, hey, hey, what you waitin’ for?
all of my heart is yours...

fault lines, yeah, I’ve got mine
was a long climb, back to you
young crimes, just a past life
now my best side’s growing roots

late nights wrapped in grapevines
whisper white lies till they're true
sometimes makes me feel like
I would die if I met you

here comes the first light
after a dark night
our love is sunshine
turning a black sky gold
here comes the first light (wake on up, wake on up)
all of your blue skies outside singing
our love is sunshine (wake on up, wake on up)
honey, wake on up

3 / TOGETHER

we will go into the ocean
sail away across the great sea
I will show you where the sun sets
together is a wonderful place to be

we will go into the forest
we will chase the wind through the trees
and I will keep your hand in my hand
together is a wonderful place to be

we will go into the mountains
we will dance atop the great peaks
and I will hold you through the morning
together is a wonderful place to be

we will go into the ocean
sail away across the great sea
I will show you where the sun sets
together is a wonderful place to be

4/ HARPERS FERRY

wish we were back in Harpers Ferry
the river turning with the leaves
so many brave and nameless buried
in the weeds

cause I ain't one for dull surrender
I know I'm alive if I still bleed
a war could make us both remember
it's just you and me

can anybody help us find the way
back to yesterday?

so let's head up to Seward's Folly
leave some footprints in the snow
spell denial like Denali
let it go

cause both are cold enough to kill you
you can't get too high or fall too low
just like those men in West Virginia
when you go, you go

and let's pretend we're not mistaken
be like a sunset grown old
standing up on the horizon
still afloat

cause there ain't nothing left to lie for
the past can only tell the truth
but there is something I would die for
and it's you

 

5 / TOMORROW

there will be better days

let the wave wash over me
let the wave wash over me
I am already under
let the wave wash over me

there will be better days
there will be better days
there will be better days
there will be better days
there will be better days
there will be better days

there will be better days
