This is a barn and I know it's haunted
The corn rattles and the shadows move
It's just the way, it's just the way I'm feeling
I want to lie down in a field of rain
This is a river and I pray for the bottom
Some kind of measure of the way things change
I've been stuck in the middle of a slow storm, counting the days, love
I know we're in the dark, and the cold comes
Through the very cracks that let the light through
Bring me something back from that sunny coast, and keep us, moving on
These are the shadowlands, I've known them
And I think it's going to be the long way down
But I'll be the tiny flame, that you carry around, around, around
I know we're in the dark, and the cold comes
Through the very cracks that let the light through
Bring me something back from that sunny coast, and keep us, moving on
This is a blessing and I don't date doubt it
We built a boat out of willow trees
We caught the moonlight, like a mirror
Shine right through to the best of me
Shine right through to the best of me
We've been living in abandoned houses
Sometimes we're tending to abandoned fields
It's just the way it's just the way I'm feeling
I want to wake up with the sun in my head
The corn rattles and the shadows move
It's just the way, it's just the way I'm feeling
I want to lie down in a field of rain
This is a river and I pray for the bottom
Some kind of measure of the way things change
I've been stuck in the middle of a slow storm, counting the days, love
I know we're in the dark, and the cold comes
Through the very cracks that let the light through
Bring me something back from that sunny coast, and keep us, moving on
These are the shadowlands, I've known them
And I think it's going to be the long way down
But I'll be the tiny flame, that you carry around, around, around
I know we're in the dark, and the cold comes
Through the very cracks that let the light through
Bring me something back from that sunny coast, and keep us, moving on
This is a blessing and I don't date doubt it
We built a boat out of willow trees
We caught the moonlight, like a mirror
Shine right through to the best of me
Shine right through to the best of me
We've been living in abandoned houses
Sometimes we're tending to abandoned fields
It's just the way it's just the way I'm feeling
I want to wake up with the sun in my head
