Kicking Stones Lyrics

What's the weather like where you are? Are the days growing thin?

I promise you I'm doing fine, I just forget to check in

I'm heading back out east first thing tomorrow

Most days when I wake up I can't remember if I'm in Vermont or Colorado

Temperatures drop and the birds fly away

My sister's baby grows bigger each day

While I'm out here kicking stones, too proud and too stubborn to come home

I saw someone who looked like you in a small Midwest town

I pulled the car over and rolled the window down

She saw me staring at her and quickly walked away

It's hard to describe how I miss you on these numb and lonely days

Temperatures drop and the birds fly away

My sister's baby grows bigger each day

While I'm out here kicking stones, too proud and too stubborn to come home

Healing takes time, especially when I'm hurting for living

Moments gone by, tell me will I ever be forgiven?

Temperatures drop, and the birds fly away

My sister's baby grows bigger each day

While I'm out here kicking stones, too proud and too stubborn to come home

While I'm out here kicking stones, humming a song we used to know
