lyrics

Carolina the black wind
Is blowing through my sheets
& we love like war torn children
Or just dogs tugging at a leash

And I am falling slowly
From the stars back to the streets
I'm a stranger in your arms again

You were chasing soft dreams
But they always got away
Trying to tie your shoelace
But your hands just shake & shake

When all that you've forgotten
Meets all that you forgave,
of my mistakes
Then a stranger's at the door again

& you said...
ooo
Let me down easy
ooo
Let me down sweetly,
If you can

I think I need my head cleaned
It's been dirtied up with debt
And this constant fear of fear
I've not confronted yet

So I catch myself in circles
My tongue waggin' like a fool
And there's a stranger making all these rules

I tell him...
ooo
Let me down easy
ooo
Let me down sweetly,
I tell him,
ooo
You do not see me,
As I am.
