Younger Days
Ocie Elliott
3:32You were holding up a smile It was dripping with the rain Shoulders square to the window You were framed in the pane It was dry where I stood And I wished you were the same Fate sitting on the paper And you read it like a game Rocks in the river Couldn't stop the flow I see you, darling Even when I don't Oh child, I'm broken-hearted And filled with holes The look you left on the window never goes When I woke in the aisle You were past the door Sun beamed in denial Veiling what you wore Oh, couldn't lie where I stood And I couldn't find the floor Oh, give me more time, give me more Rocks in the river Couldn't stop the flow I see you, darling Even when I don't Oh child, I'm broken-hearted And filled with holes The look you left on the window never goes Here's something I can tell ya I'll be there on the bright side of the moon When you're not doing well Look up, I'm the silence coming through If you need to yell I'll be playing in the echo of the room Ringing like bells
