Stranded

I knew somethin’ was off It was in the eve of May The spark you had began flickerin’ away Your persimmon energy Now mulberry and clay We’re learnin’ things don’t always go our way I had to believe there was a chance That I could pray this all away

Now the trees are changin’ Streets of red leaves And short dark days All the prayin’ ain’t doin’ no change I guess God ain’t hearin’ what I’m sayin’ Seems like the winter wants to take you And you already seem frozen too Don’t really try to move much Oh my shepherd Please don’t be in too much of a rush

Everything used to move from left to right In flashes of blue, red and green lights Then one bulb broke And everything went black and white

Now it’s just drunken days And sleepless nights

Oh my God This is goin’ way too fast I see the pale in your eyes And I’m too selfish to let you pass Streets are all white And my heart’s turned black Sleigh ride on the waves But I’m singin’ you good company to relax Know I gotta do what’s right by you Was just hopin’ I’d steal one more Christmas or two
