lyrics

Verse 1
Oh my winter wings don't fail me now.
I've been crashing into sunsets, falling to the ground.
Well I moved to the city, with a dollar to my name.
With holes in both my shoes, and a pocket full of uh-oh honey.

Chorus
Maybe I'm the fool, the one who steals the sunlight.
Maybe I'm the chord, who'll rhapsodize your sunrise.
Maybe I'm an Icarus, a heap out on the highway singing
"Oh"

Verse 2
Wake up in the morning, on the search for grace.
Walk the bars find a random stranger with a kind enough face.
I suppose that I would call you, just to hear you say hello.
But for all the life I've left untold, couldn't buy time on a telephone.

Chorus.

Bridge x2
An inch above the breakdown,
an inch below the high.
If you find you Eden lacking,
do you stay or do you ride?

Chorus.

about

Mercy Bell writes crunchy folk-pop music heavily inspired by the 60s and early 90s songwriters and more traditional folk she ... more grew up listening to.

She moved to New York hardly knowing anyone, a duffle bag, an air mattress, and a guitar.

She has a considerable amount more than that now, but likes to remind people that even with holes in your shoes and no friends, you can always make music less
