lyrics

Kat’s Song

Baby blue, please come home,
I’m tired of talking on the phone.
Love you now, I love you then,
love you to the heartbeat end.
O Life is long

Come you now, comfort me
broken winged up in the tree.
Make a stage of sticks and straw
for dancing when my heart is raw.
O Life is long
O Life is long

Precious when it spoils in days,
a summer breeze washing away.
Only a fool believes their dreams,
taken in by what is seen.
O Life is long
O Life is long

Maybe when the flowers fall away
we’ll still smell that sweet perfume.
My love is shining bright today—
It’s all I have for you.

Candles burn while we stay up
counting all our priceless luck,
remembering that band of strings—
we listened to the old men sing,
‘O Life is long
O Life is long’

I recall the nights I’ve danced.
Now my body is a branch
fallen from that ancient tree—
snap me up for kindling.
O Life is long
O Life is long

Baby blue, please come home
I’m tired of feeling all alone.
Here you are, here we go
Follow where the river flows—
O Life is long
O Life is long
O Life is long
O Life is long
O Life is long
O Life is long
O Life is long
O Life is
