New Favorite Pastime

twenty-four more to go and

it will be tomorrow one more day older o

ne more day closer to some sort of end

ten am and i'm already ready to say

let's call it a day get me out of this bed

and tell me what you meant when you said everything will be ok

the parking lot sea and me wait patiently to hear the still

small voice beneath the noise the traffic

and sirens say run away but the trains say stay

we've been around and it's all the same

only the names change just hold my head

and tell me what you meant when you said take heart child

be still and quiet know your burdens are mine and dry your eyes

there's so much more to all of this than you can see

so close your eyes tonight and trust in me

hold my head and tell me what you meant when you said trust in me
