darling bird, cotton nest - tracklist & lyrics

1. S
Oh, you'll never know just how proud
We were when you vowed
To act bravely and never to lose
How you commit
To win and not quit
And the beautiful way that you choose to survive, the way that you don't just mend but you thrive.

The way that you bind us and always remind us
To be grateful because in the end we're alive

2. S
Daylight
Sometimes it ends too soon
And I don't want to sleep
Til I remember lending softer ears to my lungs
And maybe if I hold you now, would you hold me now?

3. S
All that we'll need will be all we've got.
And we'll never speak of days when we'd desperately seek shelter from terrible storms, trying just to keep safe and warm.

4. L
Like a bird on the wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

5. L
I haven't tried
To break the ties
For all I've done is lie and lie

6. L
We spent some time together crying
Spent some time just trying to let each other go
I held your hand so very tightly
And told you what I would be dreaming of

7. S
Oh, words, like rain, how sweet the sound…
"Well anyway," she says, "I'll see you around."

8.
L
Shield your eyes from the truth at hand
Tell me why it'll be good again
All those demons are closing in
And I don't want you to burn
Nevermind what I said before
I don't want any less, any more
You are carbon and I am flame
I will rise and you will
Remain

S
You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Til you start looking back
I wouldn't need a second chance
