Tom Mcrae - Alphabet of Hurricanes lyrics

Caught in a whirlwind of Broken sticks and bones An alphabet of hurricanes Can't blow this drifter home And the train kicks up snow across This cold New Mexico And as I cross the Rio Grande I finally let you go To fall into the icy stream Of different lives and different dreams And we go lightly on our way Yes you go lightly on the same Woke up in Kansas from a Dream of burning ships And I still taste the ocean, girl And you on my lips But I can't seem to change the way This story wants to play Life is in the living Not the telling anyway Press myself into the gla** Silver moon lights up my path As I go lightly on my way And you will go lightly on the same Yes we go lightly on our way Shaken by a broken rail in Princeton, Illinois With time to k** I drank my fill And gave the jukebox all my coins This one's for the friends I've lost The one I've left behind No, this one's not for you, I take it back I've changed my mind The music drifts into the night Calls to me and says it's time To go lightly on my way And I will lightly on the same Yes you go lightly on your way Sunset on the Hudson turns this city into gold This stolen El Dorado it ain't mine, it sure ain't yours I've been here for every season Somehow you forget You claim this city for yourself Well take it, it's my gift There's nothing left to divide You take the days, I'll take the nights And I'll go lightly on my way And you will go lightly on the same Yes we go lightly on our way Caught in a whirlwind of Broken sticks and bones An alphabet of hurricanes Can't blow this drifter home Can't blow this drifter home Can't blow this drifter home Can't blow this drifter home
