Lyrics

Well I dreamt you were playing an old guitar from a five ’n dime,
there was a song trapped inside, with the sweetest tune
you said, “too sad to sing”
Where do you fall when you have nowhere to go
where do you go when you have no one to see
what do you see when you have nothing to feel
what do you feel when you’re all alone
The song circled ‘round and around
like a bird lost inside a cloud
cut off from the stars and their guiding lights
not sure which way’s up or down anymore
Where do you fall when you have nowhere to go
where do you go when you have no one to see
what do you see when you have nothing to feel
what do you feel when you’re all alone
Tired of waiting, clouds will be breaking, soon you’ll escape them
someday we’ll find our place in the sky
