Halcyon
Side Saddle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you′re on the fence weighing you options yard to yard
When all you've got is simply not enough
Is it worth your while when you′re constantly torn up
Oh
Halcyon
My feet are worn out from the race
Only so much I can take
Halcyon
You know I've dreaded coming home
I revel in the time alone
But I just can't bear the pain of leaving
To far to see in
Will someone help me find halcyon
When the clouds begin to break
My feet are worn out from the race
Only so much I can take
Halcyon
The well is running dry
Have I got time
Well maybe its too soon
And we don′t have to say goodbye
Is there an answer I under arm knows
Is there a key somewhere?
Is someone else home?
Are we forcing a square peg to a round hole?
Are we forcing a square peg into a round hole?
Oh halcyon
Halcyon
When the clouds begin to break
My feet are worn out form the race
Only so much I can take
Halcyon
Halcyon
Halcyon
