It's been awhile

Since I stepped out on this little road

Waiting out this storm

It's been awhile

Since I first swam up to this little shore

My fins are slowing down

It's been awhile

Since I laid eyes on those hunters in the snow

Searching for this soil

It's been awhile

Since that starling flew right on by

Let me rest awhile

It's been awhile

Since I first laid eyes on on you

And it still feels the same

These days

Don't want to leave this little room

These days

Can't seem to leave this little room
