LAm DO
I want to live where soul meets body
LAm DO
And let the sun wrap its arms around me
LAm DO
And bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
SOL LAm
And feel, feel what its like to be new
DO
Cause in my head there’s a greyhound station
LAm DO
Where I send my thoughts to far off destinations
LAm DO
So they may have a chance of finding a place
SOL
where they’re far more suited than here
LAm DO SOL
I do believe it’s true
LAm DO SOL
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
LAm DO
If the silence takes you
SOL
Then I hope it takes me too

So brown eyes I hold you near

LAm DO
I cannot guess what we'll discover
LAm DO
We turn the dirt with our palms cupped like shovels
LAm DO
But I know our filthy hand can wash one another’s
SOL
And not one speck will remain
LAm DO SOL
I do believe it’s true
LAm DO SOL
That there are roads left in both of our shoes
LAm DO
If the silence takes you
SOL
Then I hope it takes me too
