Frail 02:38
Someday I’ll be old and frail And I’ll forget how to spell my name But I’ll recall the beauty I saw on all those winter days One day a song I used to sing Will bring me back to everything And when I can’t breathe the inside air I pray that you’ll bring me to the sea Oh when I grow old and frail I hope to be where you’ll be Oh when I grow old and frail I hope to be where you’ll be

I’ve been getting along with myself so well Learning how love would talk and walk and smell I’ve been looking and seeing and hearing lots I’ve been learning what you rly meant by love I’ve been slowing way down so things aren’t blurry Thinking about how time moves at the same old speed I’ve been wondering and dreaming, forgetting lots Remembering sadly the things I have been taught Why did I sit down beside you Our arms touched, and we didn’t move You seem to always be waiting You start to smile when you hear me laughing You are so distracting I wake up tired from dreaming Love is so very distracting I think you’re so much like the rest of them I wonder if you fell, like they always did One time could I be the one completely enamoured Oh could I be the one to ask all the questions Please don’t tell me I’m pretty and you love me And please don’t kiss me and then tell me you need me I think that you should just be who you want to be I don’t know how to be bound up with you, but free I don't know how to be bound up with you but free I don't know how to be I don't know how

I’ve got a friend who says telling the truth makes things easier I’ve got a friend who says telling the truth makes things easier Have you seen the way I stand beside you Like the trees by the ocean All bent by the wind And it takes a flood for us to know That we're slowly sinking And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you Cause I don't want things changing I think I'm the most serious woman to call herself a silly girl I think I'm the most serious woman to call herself a silly girl I'm waiting for another word The two brown hens you keep in your yard make me feel like I’m home again My neighbors out on his front porch listening to your kind of music That woman’s voice is singing of summer Reminding me that I’m slowly sinking And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you Cause I don't want things changing And this is an emergency I think we're maybe drowning But I'm afraid to tell you Cause I don't want things changing I wanna leave my lights on I wanna drive my car home I wanna buy some more clothes I wanna take a long trip I wanna laugh at your jokes I wanna see where you go I wanna take things real slow I wanna take the long road Don’t say what you think I want to hear Don’t say what you think I want to hear Tell me what you want I'll tell you I wanna leave my lights on I wanna drive my car home I wanna buy some more clothes I wanna take a long trip But we’ll all be underwater someday I’ll be underwater someday

I always liked how you’d kneel down to tie your shoes up I’d stand and look at your hair But I’d get out of there fast, I’d slip my boots on I never gave you time to stare I liked the way you’d feel smaller for a second And I’d stand in silence Maybe I’ll see you drive by in your car Maybe you’ll see me walking I don’t want you knowing anything I'm thinking I'm just quietly hoping I wonder how far I can walk before I tire I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry I’m not a leaf in a river I know what I’m here for I know what I’m here for I’m not a leaf in a river I’m a sailboat in a storm I won’t float along My brothers always would leave the kitchen table Before saying thank you They couldn't see what they had I don't know when it'll be but I say see you You say nothing again I wonder how far I can walk before I tire I wonder how long I can sing before my throat gets dry I’m not a leaf in a river I know what I’m here for I know what I’m here for I’m not a leaf in a river I’m a sailboat in a storm I won’t float along Ooh I know what I'm here for Ooh I'm a sailboat in a storm Oh I know what I'm here for Oh I'll sail along in the storm I know where I’m heading But I don’t want to wait in line Unless you’ll be there too Could I put my hand around your arm I guess I missed you coming off the highway You won’t see me and I won’t leave you wondering I’m not a leaf in a river I know what I’m here for I know what I’m here for I’m not a leaf in a river I’m a sailboat in a storm I won’t float along We had a different kind of worship You were a different kind of person

I'm sorry to my spider plant I left you home alone again And when I returned you were just a skeleton And your leaves are thin and straggly Like my hair I keep uncombed And your soil is begging to feel wet and cold I left you all alone I'm sorry to the books that I piled by my bed I would've loved to read your words But I just left again And when I returned the dust covered your skin I'm sorry to my old guitar I haven't touched you for a while I've been waiting for it all to come back easily My fingers once were tough and strong But now my body's weak I don't dare touch your strings I'm sorry to the food that I left in my fridge I waited for a special day and it never came I saved you for a special day but it never came I just left again I left you all alone

Everywhere I go you remember me I’ll pretend that I’m the same so you don’t see how I’m changing My voice gets lost and I forget what I mean I’ll wait for space to speak and you don’t give me anything Everytime I grow I start ripping at my seams I don’t remember what I learn and I’ll put new wine in new skins The forest is thick its roots grow right over me All the saplings die and the great oaks live I look up and see you waiting there for me How’d you get so far ahead, I’m running out of steam You don’t know living like this life knows me It gets sweeter and sweeter when you start to sing A woman told me I was a sure sign of spring I was skipping down the street You hold my hand and say everything’s beauty If you just have eyes to see Everywhere I go their eyes are staring at me I just need some room to breathe and I don’t want you to see I start to run but I hear you calling after me You just won’t let me leave, you won’t let me leave You look at me and say don’t change anything There’s no space for me you say I’m quiet and sweet You don’t know this life like this life knows me Sometimes just hoping will beat the real thing A woman told me I was a sure sign of spring I was skipping down the street You hold my hand and say everything’s beauty If you just have eyes to see I love writing love songs And I love holding fingers I don’t mind paying Foods just made for sharing A woman told me I was a sure sign of spring I was skipping down the street You hold my hand and say everything’s beauty If you just have eyes to see You don’t know but your words mean everything Be careful what you sing be careful what you Sing Be careful what u sing be careful what u sing

I don't know anything that'll happen There's no end like there is in that movie And I think it's so silly to call each other baby But I love how it makes me feel like I'm a part of something I just want someone who’ll love the things I love and love me too So show me where to set my eyes show me what the game is, and tell me what’s the prize The sparrows all find food And the flowers look so beautiful And money isn't really real And I don't need anything in this world I’ve got all my treasure I don’t need anymore I’ve never found happiness when I’ve looked But I asked you and you gave me everything How do I forget so fast, that nothing ever really lasts But you always finish everything you start When I look at you I see I’m just a blade of grass I just want someone who can see me and the future and the past So show me where to set my eyes show me what the game is, and tell me what’s the prize The sparrows all find food And the flowers look so beautiful And money isn't really real And I don't need anything in this world I’ve got all my treasure I don’t need anymore I can't fix cars I can't fix lies I can't fix hunger or pain I can't fix the sky when it rains I can't understand the reasons why the earth gets warmer every day But with you I know everything is ok Some things are so easy to remember Like the feeling of his hands Like the way the trumpet sounds Some things I'll always forget Like the time it takes to feel ok When you make a mistake When you make a mess So show me where to set my eyes show me what the game is, and tell me what’s the prize The sparrows all find food And the flowers look so beautiful And money isn't really real And I don't need anything in this world I’ve got all my treasure I don’t need anymore
