Leenah if you get my call
Don't answer and I'll move along
Cause you are gone, you'll never hear this song
You'll never walk among the flowers
When I heard that you'd lost your breath
And all the machines got their rest
I had to leave, I couldn't believe
There's got to be more to this than simple grieving
When you're leaving
And I remembered the call, and the initials
And the way you spoke on your Sunday walks
And it feels so damn significant, that's probably cause it is
But wherever you are, whether you're near or far
Or if you're a tree, or maybe a star
I'll find you
And Leenah, you're in my head
Every day
I'll never forget

I went to my grave, threw a stone in the lake
Under the pillar, lost in the mirror
So I went to my friend, and I asked them again
Is this what you wanted, to be forever haunted?
Well I don't know why, but your face tells no lies
And you looked so sly, cry me a river
Cry me a river, she said
Cry me a river again
I felt my hand touch the back of her head
I felt something bigger, but I can't go near her
So I went to my grave, threw a stone in the lake
And begged for forgiveness, but I got nothing to give her
Cry me a river, she said
Cry me a river again

Down The Well

Christmas day, I felt so low
I watched the snow out of my window
And thought about how you would feel
It's your birthday, but you're not here
And you don't know
How much I threw down the well
Down the well
Every time I pass a glance and see your name
Or think of how we made some plans to live alone
But close enough to share a home
And you don't know
How much I threw down the well
Down the well
When it came to new years eve
I didn't sit, I didn't grieve
I knew if you were here with me
The only thing you'd like to see is
You and me, just happy to breathe
But Leenah, the sky is blue
And in my dreams
It's always you
Down the well

Slow Hands
03:36
|

|
When I feel like I am alone in this
I walk home, slowly
As if to suggest if I moved any quicker I'd feel less empty
Slow hands, slow day
Watching the sun pass by
Breathing, moving
Stopping from time to time, pondering, wondering
Why, why, why
As the moon walks by

You've been starting to lose your step
Empty hands without a grip
When I look into your eyes
I see nothing for miles and miles
Even though you fake a smile
I think I've known for quite a while
And hey, if you don't feel okay
Don't be scared, we're all the same
Come into my room
Leave your bags by the door
Clear your head
