first light Lyrics

Find me under the willow tree

Throwing rocks and counting leaves

Sixteen years lost to the breeze

Once a memory, now a reprieve

As the kids start moving out

Away from all these halfway towns

Sidewalk chalk, stick figure frowns

One lifetime in this paper house

Time is running out

Before you know it now

Hold onto this feeling

Fleeting, falling down

A youthful glow to feel alive

Gone missing with a wishful cry

Dreams I have the chance to try

I'm out of ways to say goodbye

Find me in a life estranged

From people who have forgone change

Sixteen years without a trace

One lifetime drifting, washed away

Time is running out

Before you know it now

Hold onto this feeling

Fleeting, falling down

Come first light

I'm out of town

I may never come back 'round

Come first light

I'm out of here

All my plans, my thrilling fears

Come first light

I'm out of town

I may never come back 'round

Come first light

I'm out of here

All my plans, my thrilling fears
