Sarah Harmer - Tether lyrics

Living this close to the road

You'll question your vulnerability

Got the curtains closed and there's nothing

For those bold coyotes to see

Just an airplane in the sky

That I hear high up the chimney

And the lonely cold coming up

To find a warmer place to be

After that Christmas I think that I might sleep

The whole new year

Maybe see if in the spring

I come in for an afternoon glass of beer

You know I always thought

That there'd be lots to talk about

But I never see you and I still look when I go out

Always so much that feels undone and waiting

A pocket that's gaping threads to weave

On the top of a pile another melody is aching

For a few pretty words to let it be

Simple tether hold this together

At least to one place

So the feelings can't escape into the air

'Cause if they do we won't remember that they were even there

And filled a moment that we had to spare
