about

This is actually the first song I ever wrote for banjo, even though I wrote it on some scrap paper at my summer job far, far away from my instrument. Thanks, Kittatinny

lyrics

I'm a limb on a tree that's a thousand years old.
Sometimes I wish I was less tired, more bold...
but I'm sitting still, in a mid-winter chill,
I'm a library book
I'm a window sill.

I'm a cloud in the sky you can follow with your eyes
I have no control, I have no disguise,
but when the sky is the sea
you can drown with me
but I guess that you'd rather stay dry...

The night's growing cold, I'm a held in breath
with no one to hold me close.
I'll just stay here and out of my depth,
dreaming's what scares me the most.
I don't want to complain,
I'm just a drizzle of rain.

Tie my to the post and I'll wave to the statues.
I'd never say no- 'cause that never stopped you.
For now I'll just sit,
waiting for my bulbs to be lit,
they told me that I was expecting it.

The night's growing cold, I'm a held in breath
with no one to hold me close.
I'll just stay here and out of my depth,
dreaming's what scares me the most.
I don't want to complain,
I'm just a drizzle of rain...
And you are the clouds
