Galveston - 2018
I gathered you up in a thousand days
From 17 till old and grey
Throwing shells on the Galveston bay
Your crying eyes and your heart full of grace
Pain tears and a smile on your face
A mother's scars that never erase
You were so scattered and you felt out of place
So I gathered you up in a thousand days
Lost causes twist of fate
Broken hearts and the lies that you hate
Long drives on a snowy landscape
And your eyes by the fire at the lake
All that you wanted all that you couldn't' escape
All those convictions that never would take
Colored candles and Christmas lights
I gathered you up on a thousand nights
I pictured you in a life without me
In someones arms I never could be
And you were following the map of your dreams
So I gathered you up and I sewed up the seams
Drove you down to the Galveston bay
Let you go cause your heart couldn't stay
The waves were broken and calling your name
I gathered you and I gave you away
From 17 till old and grey
Throwing shells on the Galveston bay
Your crying eyes and your heart full of grace
Pain tears and a smile on your face
A mother's scars that never erase
You were so scattered and you felt out of place
So I gathered you up in a thousand days
Lost causes twist of fate
Broken hearts and the lies that you hate
Long drives on a snowy landscape
And your eyes by the fire at the lake
All that you wanted all that you couldn't' escape
All those convictions that never would take
Colored candles and Christmas lights
I gathered you up on a thousand nights
I pictured you in a life without me
In someones arms I never could be
And you were following the map of your dreams
So I gathered you up and I sewed up the seams
Drove you down to the Galveston bay
Let you go cause your heart couldn't stay
The waves were broken and calling your name
I gathered you and I gave you away
