Ode to Lilah

The first time I saw her standing there
Her face was as welcome as pouring rain
Washing the spoils of old love aside
Leaving us in the eye of a hurricane

She stayed by my side through the loneliest Christmas
She stayed by my side to my mother's dismay
Running fast, a new life, a new start with Lilah
And so hell-bent this heart wouldn't break again

Oh Lilah, girl can't you see
I was down and exhausted
Lost & accosted
And you gave the world back to me

We shared a mattress in River City
As faces so blurry, they came and went
She stared at me in the bedroom mirror
Through winters of tears all my secrets she kept

Lilah, oh Lilah how good you are
How you trust in the world, how you trust in me
I've forgotten how to live without you
Maybe that's how things are supposed to be

Oh Lilah, girl can't you see
I was down and exhausted
Lost & accosted
And you gave the world back to me
