Familiar Arms

Underneath buried memories
submerged beneath my past
You’ve gone and left my life
- disappeared from its path

And all along the eastern board
I've lost your trail in cars
It's under corners and sidewalks
- beneath rainy nights and stars

My life's shrouded in the moments
waves coming against my shore
I'm just clinging to the duration
- the still before the storm

Just looking for shelter
    and hoping -
        for familiar arms


And all the towns
     are just the same
          barely different names
…only the faces change

And you can have something
         for just a little
You can have a lot
         for a dollar

Walking on the midway
flying… on the rollercoaster


Sometimes in the moments
it’s like you have never gone
In my mind, you still remain
- everything's just the same

We're walking in the sawdust
I'm holding on your arm
Our future draws forever
- and nothing’s going wrong

Now...
I'm just looking for shelter
         and hoping -
                   for familiar arms


And in all the towns
         It’s just the same
Everything claims
         a different name

...but only the faces change

And you can have something
         for just a little
You can have a lot
         for just a dollar

Walking on the midway
flying… on the rollercoaster
