New Favorite Pastime

Brandtson

24 more to go 
and it will be tomorrow 
one more day older 
one more day closer 
to some sort of end 
10 am 
and I'm already ready to say 
let's call it a day 
let's call it a day 

Get me out of this bed 
and tell me what you meant when you said 
everything will be ok 

The parking lot sea 
and me 
wait patiently 
to hear the still, small voice 
beneath the noise 
the traffic and sirens say 
run away 
but the trains say stay 
we've been around and it's all the same 
only the names change 

just hold my head 
and tell me what you meant when you said 
everything will be ok 

just hold my head 
and tell me what you meant when you said 

take heart child 
be still and quiet 
know your burdens are mine 
dry your eyes 
there's so much more 
to all of this 
than you can see 
so close your eyes 
tonight 
and trust in me 

just hold my head 
and tell me what you meant 
when you said 
trust in me
