rowan sway

Lyrics

Day was spinning open
Somewhere a bell was tolling
The river through the old town caught the light
I cast out for an omen
From the ferris wheel motion
Of broken record notions in my mind

Still turning over the stones from such a close call
Deciphering the echoes of your soft talk
Searching for the essence in that long pause
And a bridge over improbable divides
The message in a bottled-up desire
That I finally let float on by

Yeah, it takes a little time
To find my sense of direction
Out of the blue completely
Just the thing I needed
Right where you and I can hold the line of intersection

The morning rush had mellowed
I took it slow downtown
To let my boots say where they want to go
Following the steps in some harmonic progression
Or just one more projection of my hopes
For something left unfinished and unknown

Yeah, it’ll take a little time
So walk on, any direction
Then out of the blue completely
Just the thing I needed
Right where you and I can hold the line of intersection

I was almost to the corner
Crossing at the light
The afternoon was gold, the street was quiet
One lone car slowed down
Something made me turn around
It was so strange, it almost came as no surprise
I see the recognition burning in your eyes

Keep on walking my direction
Out of the blue completely
Just the thing you need
It’s right where you and I can hold the line of intersection
