Auburn Lyrics

I fear for the morning to come

Pack up my things and then I will be gone for long

Am I strong, am I weak?

Am I the woman willing to seek love

At the end of the road

Thank goodness that I have been told by now

That a woman is not made for the men to cover up their pain

And all my life

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

And I've seen it all before

Yes, I've seen it all before

I've seen the steps that lead out of this door

I've seen the poems of Cohen on my bed

And the list with books that I should have read by now

I've seen the look in your eyes

I've seen the flower bouquet doomed to die

I've seen the sky turning auburn red over our heads

And the words that should've been said

And all my life

I've tried, I've tried, I've tried

And I've seen it all before

And wide open lands capture the essence of change

And slowly I begin to understand

"Are we late for the sky?", you ask

You've seen the people in the streets passing by

You've seen they're as lonely as a straying dog looking for a bone

They're looking for love

Well, I've been looking for love, too

I've seen promises fading to blue

I stumbled, I fell and I climbed and I can tell

That now I've got nothing more to lose

But is there still time

Left for another try

'Cause I've seen it all before

And wide open seas

Capture a bare moment to breathe

And finally I feel peace

What is it that you adore,

What is it that you came looking for,

Are you brave enough to take a look at the score?

I've seen this road, I've seen it before,

I've passed these walls and I walked this floor

Now take me somewhere new

Where I haven't been to
