Heavy Light

from Trailways by Steve O'Connell

/

lyrics

I try not to tell you anything but the truth
Except maybe right now, as I'm talking to you.
Sometimes I wonder and sometimes I dare
And sometimes I dream of what's not even there.

I'm losing the hours as I'm losing touch
As I think of the child we wanted so much.
But all I can remember on that April day
Are walls turning blue behind a face
With the wrong expression, right shoes.

Is this where I live now? I don't know anymore.
But I thought I saw her when you walked through the door.
Turning slow from the window your face carved like wood
Your eyes like a furnace burned me where I stood
With the wrong expression, right shoes.

Is there a light in the morning
For the ones who are gone?
A heavy light in the morning
For the ones who carry on.

"Is it getting warmer?", I force with a grin.
"Been down to the lake? Is the ice getting thin?"
"Don't know 'bout the weather," is all that you say.
And we hold each other. And we drift away.

With the wrong expression, right shoes.
