Longhope

Don’t leave her hanging around, she won’t wait there forever
Has a cat got your tongue? Are words locked in your lungs?
Just breathe in and breathe out

I think of you often but how can I soften these evergreens
From keeping their shade, though the snow falls today
They’ll reveal themselves tomorrow

My hands were shaking as we drove away,
Your voice it was more than a miracle
That night as we drove through the sleet and the snow,
I think of all you’ve endured, please don’t let us fold,

Longhope, yeah I’m coming home
Longhope, yeah I’m coming home
Longhope.

I took a walk with you and I saw the world anew,
In the Mayhill pines,
Down paths where Frost walks beside,
Old memories brought back to life
Whispering please don’t forget me

My thoughts are all strangling
The words are all dangling before my eyes
But it’s getting so dark in here
I can’t really see anything clear
I’m just feeling my way through the Winter night

My hands were shaking as we drove away,
Your voice it was more than a miracle
I know I put you through sleet and through snow,
But now we’ve endured, I won’t let us fold

Longhope, yeah I’m coming home
Longhope, yeah I’m coming home
Longhope.
