Balto - October's Road lyrics

The seatbelt sign blinks, the day is stretched out Somewhere far away all my hope turned to doubt I sat awake in the piercing sunlight With my eyes screaming out for the quiet of night Got cuts on my fingers, got blood on my hands And the wounds can't be stitched closed with fraying loose ends And the echoes of past love now emptied of form Get louder and louder as I drift out from shore How am I gonna show from across this ocean that I can't let you go Cuz as the months fall away, ain't see nothing gonna change How am I gonna know if you're alive and breathing anymore Cuz all the lines are getting cold and I've got to show for… Oh if you had seen me Collapse to the floor and known why and what for You'd finally hear me Come running with help, wipe the blood from my mouth Where it spilled And maybe you'll notice That fear of your loss has kept closing me off And at last I tore myself open A river poured out after decades of drought SO COME ON I'm willing and able My feet or a plane, oh a bus or a train I can run If only a moment To hold your cold hands tell you life ain't that bad Because it ain't — life ain't that bad
