Antje Duvekot - Four Stitches lyrics

Last night the stars never went down, i spent 13 long hours on a plane Here we are now nervous as school girls, skittish as horses, awkward as prom dates And it should be familiar, this once was my country, before the coming of the sea Hey Tom did your old pony ever find the way back home? The streets of our past, we gambled away, when hours and days were still free On the roof of your car, we studied the night sky with both our adulthoods lying in wait And i still feel the downpour of a season so sacred, you take my bags, pull up the car Hey Tom looks like your pony really made it pretty far Chorus Two feathers for the plans, three daisies for the memories A penny for the dust and for the love Four stitches for the loss, five gla**es for the riches One breath for the crumbling of the sky Before the last snow, two synchronized blossoms waiting for summer to come And the world was lit up then and the fairgrounds were shining Your hand on my shoulder... That was enough And my heart was so calm then, in the roundness of waiting When love was innocent and slow Hey Tom do you think our ponies will ever find a way back home? Chorus Two feathers for the plans, three daisies for the memories A penny for the dust and for the love Four stitches for the loss, five gla**es for the riches One breath for the crumbling of the sky Five bubbles for the glory, a sonnet for salvation Some mortar for the cracks, a pillow for the fall One opus for the joy, two shards for forgiveness A secret stairwell for remembering And a moment for a song...
