I hear the song returning
Turning, light flooded at the door
Take last summer's bad luck and burn it
Pick up my keys and my heart off the floor
I am a lady-in-waiting
Rollin' dice in Arkansas
Smoked my way through most of the winter
And Mary's song kept the light on in the dark
Alameda, Alameda reads the leaves
She points the narrow way
Shelters me, shelters me
It's gonna be alright
It's just a lonely night
Love calls and compounds me
I close my eyes and hear the song return
guitar solo
I'm eight days out on the ocean
Cruisin'
The Caribbean sea
I'm homesick and I've grown lonesome
Gazing out the window
For silver linings
Alameda
She meets me by the sea
guitar solo
She heals the broken bones
And safely carries me
Carry me
Cause my heavy heart is waiting
And the turquoise waves are breaking
Love calls and compounds me
And the turquoise waves are breaking me
I hold my breath and hear the song return
From home to home
ragged words that I write








Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh looks like it there's no turning back
We represent our world
I'll see you next time.
