Lyrics Breese - Ludlow

It's a pain in my tooth
It's a rock in my shoe
I've been waiting for you
Since my rock-a-bye youth

Now I'm dreaming of the old skyway
Thinking it's all I could do not to run away
What if you were there when I lost my way?

Like an eagle in the sky
In the eye of a hurricane
Waiting to carry me home
I wanna know
Could I revel in the wind?
Could I bathe in the light of day
If you would have known me back then?

It's a faded tattoo
It's a glass of wine, two
It's a trauma; it's a bruise
Yeah, I'm black and I'm blue

Now I'm dreaming of the old skyway
Thinking it's all I could do not to run away
What if you were there when I lost my way?

If a body catch a body as it blunders through the rye
Who's gonna carry it home?
I wanna know
Could I pretermit the song
Singing back from where I came
If you would have known me back then?

We were kids playing songs in my basement memories
Push the button to record, now we're out of batteries
We're too scared of the sound of our voices when we sing
What's the point of a song with a silent melody?
In the room, with eyes closed, he listens to the game
Is he hiding in the space between slow-motion frames?
Is he staring at the eye? Is he caught in the hurricane?
Little newborn, rocking to life

Now I'm dreaming of the old skyway
Thinking it's all I could do not to run away
What if you were there when I lost my way?
