about

This was first written as a much slower and more somber song, performed on piano at my wedding by the amazing Emily Bezar. (www.emilybezar.com) Not long ago I decided to pick up the tempo and found, of all things, a little pop song! The marriage is over but the song lives on...

lyrics

The spirits in the cellar
Of some broken down heart
Were talking ‘bout tomorrow
like it’s just too late to start
Mumbling in the dusty air

And the angels you carry
In your miracle bag
Were only as real as the day you had
Comin’ home to no one there

There is something strange here
Suddenly something’s changed here
I’ve never been
this far before
I’m gonna need you near me while we—

Look
for a treasure map
All that the world
has been holding back
We can sing a pirate song

And the bad luck
is gonna change
All of the stars
are rearranged
Watching from a time long gone

There is something wrong here
Suddenly we belong here
Raise high the roof
Up through the clouds
Look from the tallest window
There we are now

There we are
