Lyrics
Settling Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Summer headlights cut into the dawn
We city kids ride the highway unboundry
We were like a pioneer's sons
Counting all the coins that we'd won
In our hands
Running rooftops like the river boys do
Kiss me once and you say i love you
You make it cold in my heart
But promise you will never leave me behind
Sleepy-eyed you wait for tomorrow
And i know that you'll marry some day
And i can only lie down as your mistress
'cause i gave you away
Our innocence lost in the plan
Better endings are what we have now
Weary friends keeping good on a vow
But there is a part of me
Still telling me to go and feelings arise
Sleepy-eyed you wait for tomorrow
And i know that you'll marry someday
And i would lay myself down
Lay myself down
Our innocence lost in the plan
