The Nightjars

You have me and I have you
And that's enough to paint lonesome black and blue
Yeah I have you and you have me
That puts a bow up in the sky that tells the rain to cease

We've had ups and we've had downs
We've had warm nights and we've gone round and round
But what I know
This much is true
There ain't a color in the rainbow
That shines like you

So let's carve our names into this tree
And then lay beneath the beauty of her leaves
Well the birds and the bees seem to agree
That we're as strong as the maple but twice as sweet

We've had ups and we've had downs
We've had warm nights and we've gone round and round
But what I know
This much is true
There ain't a tree with any leaf
That roots me like you

I've gone north and I've gone south
I've gone east west inward and out
For me I know this much is true
There ain't a single direction
That don't point to you
They all point to you

It's the first step out of bed
When the clouds start rolling in
When the flowers lose their heads
It's the lies that keep ‘em smiling
When I feel I'm slowly dying
Like the world has just decided to stop its spinning

It goes round and round and round and round again
Life goes on and on there's light around the bend
There's a new sun rising
No use crying
Hope lies just beyond the horizon
Round and round and round and round again
So don't let them keep you down

I'm tired of all this trying
Feel that fire slowly dying
Run down and running on empty
Just a few more miles
The engine turns but it doesn't idle
But the wheels in my heart
Well they just keep on spinning

‘Cause It goes round and round and round and round again
Life goes on and on there’s light around the bend
There's a new sun rising
No use crying
Hope lies just beyond the horizon
Round and round and round and round again
So don't let them keep you down

Just know when you've had enough
When you don't know what to believe
When you don't measure up
To what they tell you you should be

It goes round and round and round and round again
Yeah life goes on and on there's light around the bend
Oh and there's a new sun rising
There's no use crying
Hope lies just beyond the horizon
Round and round and round and round again
So don't let them keep you down
Don't let them keep you down

I woke up today felt more of the same
A marathon runner running in place
Carve through the hills like a river to nowhere
A little less thinking
A little more space

I'm doing my best
Looking for rest
For a marathon mind

Heavy's the head that lives in the clouds
Searching for problems to answers I've found
It ain't good for nothing it just adds to the noise
A choir of static
What's one more voice?

I'm doing my best
Looking for rest
For a marathon mind

I'm doing my best
Looking for rest
For a marathon mind
A marathon mind
