lyrics

Gently As I Go

We took all the pictures there aren’t any left
We drove all the roads and laughed ourselves to death
Now I’m just trying to find that open window
And close the door gently as I go

With you I learned how to love without being loved back.
My open book caught on fire and I’m breathing in the ash.
Oh the things we go through not to be alone
I’ll close the door gently as I go.

Don’t worry I’ll be gone by the time it’s night.
The rivers here run like veins releasing to the tide
I turned inside out now too knowing what I know
But I’ll close the door gently as I go

You’re holding on to my hand in a distant dream
flying through the shooting stars in our time machine
Amsterdam to Boston, Anchorage to Maine
The end always feels the same

Up here the summer goes with the fireweed
I got what I wanted now you get what you need
By the morning I’ll be gone to Colorado
And I’ll close the door gently as I go

I got what I wanted now you get what you need
And I’ll close the door gently as I go

Because she’s the best musician I know! I know her dad, who in my opinion was the best musician I knew until Abbie came along. If you know music she’s by far the most wonderful musician around. You need to hear her music.you will not be disappointed. uncleguy
