From Sylvia Hotel

Life is short, but the days and nights are long
Time will heal all these wounds
Some day soon
I'll be rising I'll be strong.

But now I'm loosing all my battles
Now I'm down and dropping still
And this snow's blowing through
Like some ghost
With this blue I know too well.

Broken hearts keep on beating just the same
So I guess I can too
Go through these moves
Facing forward, walking straight.

But now my glance keeps drifting downward
Now my feet can't find their way
And this cold's creeping in
Through my bones
Whisperin it's here to stay.

I'll bide my time, like there's any other way
It moves too slow, moves too fast
It's gone and past
And stopped entirely today.

I know there's light on some horizon
But I can't see so far ahead
Patience and grace, blessed is love
I'm loosin my faith
In most of that stuff those wise men said...
From Sylvia Hotel      Life is short, but the days and nights are long   Time will heal all these wounds   Some day soon   I'll be rising I'll be strong.      But now I'm loosing all my battles   Now I'm down and dropping still   And this snow's blowing through   Like some ghost   With this blue I know too well.      Broken hearts keep on beating just the same   So I guess I can too   Go through these moves   Facing forward, walking straight.      But now my glance keeps drifting downward   Now my feet can't find their way   And this cold's creeping in   Through my bones   Whisperin it's here to stay.      I'll bide my time, like there's any other way   It moves too slow, moves too fast   It's gone and past   And stopped entirely today.      I know there's light on some horizon   But I can't see so far ahead   Patience and grace, blessed is love   I'm loosin my faith   In most of that stuff those wise men said...
