Sanctuary

Drinking hard in circles, trying to forget Lost a card or two And found myself in bed She told me it was nothing And I could not disagree So I woke up desperate for a little air With my coat and my change I stumbled out of there Into the freezing morning Let it lead me anywhere I saw the future with eyes wide open Across a river of fallen leaves And though you're gone, I was kind of hoping You'd still be there to shelter me And I would find some sanctuary I watched you run like crazy chasing all those dreams I tried to follow close But I ran out of steam I knew I had lost you Long before you had to leave Walking past the station Getting colder now Remembering how you waited there Your first time in this town And how it felt to hold you As the evening sun went down I saw the future with eyes wide open Across a river of fallen leaves And though you're gone, I was kind of hoping You'd still be there to shelter me And I would find some sanctuary Ooh, gotta let it go, let it go I can't keep aligning the stars I'm a fool if I think that wine and a stranger Waking up wasted ever fixed a broken heart But it's a place to start I saw the future with eyes wide open Across a river of fallen leaves And though you're gone, I was kind of hoping You'd still be there to shelter me And I would find some sanctuary
