Lyrics
Jenny said
Come to the coast with me now
We’ll try to untangle our tongues
In a sixties motel
With these friends that we found
In the glow of a slow sinking sun
The river just flows
Can’t stand in her way
Around us the water unfolds
Feeling the weight
Of all our mistakes
To find out they’re worth more than gold
Here we are
I know it feels like we’ve had enough
Here we are
We’re ready for some kinda change
We fight so hard
Now is the time for making up
Here we are
There’s no walking away
There’s a bird in a cage
That’s gilded in gold
Happily singing alone
The wind and the rain are calling her name
But we’re all so afraid to let go
They gave me a song
It was light more than sound
Revealing a story untold
Telling a tale
Of long distant days
A calling beyond our own soul
Here we are
I know it feels like we’ve had enough
Here we are
We’re ready for some kinda change
We’ve come so far
Now is the time for speaking up
Here we are
There’s no walking away
Now watch her rise
(As the river meets the sea)
To the starry skies
(Finally we’re free)
Now there’s no looking down
With these new wings that we found
Here we are
I know it feels like we’ve had enough
Here we are
We’re ready for some kinda change
It’s been so dark
Now is the time for waking up
Here we are
There’s no walking away
