Lyrics

Homes go up in flames with nothing gathered
Lit when expectations shatter
Set fire to what we can't possess.

I've seen this scene before and I know all the film lines,
the actor's fate, the deadly landmines
I see in you the same distress.

The final scene is upon you, my darlin'
I know better what haunts you
your broken ardent heart
pulled down

Somewhere where the stories grow
Yours waits on the vine
Turn west at the breadcrumbs
where the river, river winds.

A shame to live in shame in someone else's context
Wilting in that frame of reference
Cut out of your own terrain.

I set adrift my words into the air between us
A wind change on the silver screen is
not enough to blow me off my game

Jokes as black as a midnight, you're laughing
Comedy, error and delight, I'm cracking up
Back to the page for the rewrites, another starring role.

Lit like a dark retrospective, you’re falling but
Move in a safer direction
your broken ardent heart
pushed out

Somewhere where the stories grow
Yours waits on the vine
Turn west at the breadcrumbs
where the river, river winds.

Forgiveness and humor are my favorite sutures
No hurt ever ends without inventing the future.
Reel to reel, reel to real.
