Well, I'm lost today

I'm almost wandering back to the door

That slammed in my face

Oh, but here I am

Here I am

Here I'll stay

But when will the street signs stop pointing west

When will my thoughts stop drifting like smoke

Over the ridge to the trail we used to walk?



Oh, does it sound familiar?

The whole thing fades to black

And then you're waiting

Waiting for it to burn again



Well, I'm lost today

I won't deny it

I'm going to lay down

And wait for the compass rose

Under my skin to start to glow

But look how the sun has painted the trees

All these colors never known to them

Colors never known to their leaves

I'd like to sing like that



Oh, does it sound familiar?

The whole thing fades to black

And then you're waiting

Waiting for it to burn again



But I know that someday, someday

I'll offer up a song I was made to play

Until even the mocking birds

Don't know what to say

And the mornings just make sense, sense, oh yeah

And where the dawn went I don't know

Just hang a white flag out the window

Until the sunlight shines through it

Well is it morning yet?



I'm lost today

Here I am wandering

It's late and I'm sure noticing

The crook of my arm is lonely

But look how the snow has painted the town

So that all of the street light is dancing, dancing around

I'd like to love like that



Does it sound familiar?

But I know that someday, someday

I'll offer up all my Sunday afternoons

Until the rocking chairs have gone and worn

Right through the paint on the porch floor

And we're grey and grey and gone, gone, gone
