Stay Gone - Brandon Luedtke
Composed by:Brandon Shane Luedtke
Went up north fell back down south
I never learned to shut my mouth
I'd talk you in then walk you out
But I never learned to shut my mouth
Met a yellow rose with earthen hair
She looked good most anywhere
Always kept my heart one step
Behind the rest I just left
Should've gone much quicker if anything
If all the folks in Adam's race
Were gathered together in one place
In time they'd decide face to face
It'd feel nice to fill the space
Then tongues a blazing new leaves turning
Feet astomping cities burning
You will find a quivering fire
The meek will stand still and admire
But the flame will sink and be gone one day
Pent up creeks and winding streams
Everything is as it seems
Gray wolves howl and barn owls scream
Nightmares seep into sweet dreams
You can't catch lightning in a bottle twice
Thunder rolls over melting ice
The seas all get filled to the brim
You must leave it's you or them
All who'd give themselves for you gone
Violet sky then turned to gray
When winter came and froze the day
The sky was violet blue then gray
Winter came and froze the day
My yellow rose was then lost
When there came the killing frost
I had to cross over the hill
Tried to stay couldn't stay still
Just should've gone much quicker if anything
