Get There

January when it was cold
She sat in the window to capture the sun
She put on twelve layers to sweat out the past
Some forgotten season

Tom Waits on analogue
Is cutting through the room
Clear the fog into the air
Could be drink or song
Night or morning day
Get there get there

Lydia fell like dusk into the room saying will you spend some time with me
I've been traveling for oh so many days and I'm overdue to let me be
If the pavement has the answer I haven't found it yet
Better rest and repair
I went looking for a sign but I must have missed my exit
To get there get there

And clear the noise
Hold back the boom
The din of everyday
Break the raucousness of life
Be still let calm remain

Lydia fell like dusk into the room saying will you spend some time with me
I've been sitting on my own these many nights and I'm overdue to set me free
And I waited for it all night long just watching for your return
Though the heat was almost gone I've nothing left to burn

Clear the noise
Hold back the boom
The din of everyday
Break the raucousness of life
Be still let calm remain
