lyrics

Today as I wait for my coffee
I simmer slow
waiting for the light to go
waiting for something I know
and the words on the page become
lines and numbers
and the clouds in the sky become
signs and wonders
my head fills me with certainty,
my heart fills me with doubt
but it’s more than I can write about

She’s got a smile so bright I know
you could see the stars in it
a smile so bright I know
you could see the stars

A curly haired little girl
with a present in the thrift store
a mother who’s thankful for
the feeling I’ve been given more
and the prices on the clothes
become signs and lights
the gentle man who finds my shoes
is a saviour and an acolyte
my heart is filled with wonder
so much so it makes me wanna shout
but it’s more than I can talk about
yeah it’s more than I can talk about

She’s got a smile so bright I know
you could see the stars in it
And something a little too gentle
something a little too kind
and something about the light
between her eyelashes and eyes

Sunshine water blue
a swimming pool
the wistful fear of platform dives
It’s not enough to work it out
no there’s no way I could work it out
each jump is an unknowing
each leap is an eternity
and my head fills me with doubt
but my heart leaps with the certainty
that it’s more than I can sing about

She’s got a smile so bright I know
you could see the stars

And something a little too gentle
something a little too kind
and something about the light
between her eyelashes and eyes
she’s got a smile so bright
I know there must be a song in it
but it’s more than I can sing about
