Been so many days of longing now
Why should it ever be this far
Where I get frightened
I could never gather birds enough
To carry 'round your part
But I see traces of your thoughts out here
I see a sight, I hear a sound
I only comfort in the brittleness of days
When I can hold what I just found
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine and all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leaving alone, I'm not leaving alone
If just that weather beating plane was here
Haven't seen it since I came
Can only wonder if it's near or in the skies
When this damn city sounds the same
And sometimes I'm just a tangle in this trampled wheat
Shirk a-like a losing dog
If just tonight that I could be where you are near
And just forget where I am lost
In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine and all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leaving alone, I'm not leaving alone
I'm not leaving alone
