Been  so many days of longing  now
Why  should it ever be this far
 Where I get frightened
 I could never  gather birds  enough to carry 'round your heart
But  I see traces of your thoughts  out here
 I see a  sight; I hear a sound
 I only  comfort in the brittleness  of days  when I can hold what I just found
 In the untired  eyes  of the laughing child
 And  the dirtiest sweater  he owns
Early,  sun-warmed pine
And  all those life-like sins
That  will pull out the memories  to show
I'm  not leavin' alone
I'm  not leavin'  alone
 If just that weather-beatin' plane was here
 Haven't seen it since I came
 Can only wonder if it's near or in the skies
 When this damn city sounds the same
 And sometimes I'm just a tangle in this trampled wheat
 Shirk a-like a losing dog
 If just tonight that I could be where you are near
 And just forget where I am lost
 In the untired eyes of the laughing child
 And the dirtiest sweater he owns
 Early, sun-warmed pine
 And all those life-like sins
 That will pull out the memories to show
 I'm not leavin' alone
 I'm not leavin' alone

[G]Been so many days of [C/G]longing n[G]ow
[Em]Why should it ever be this [B]far
Where I get frightene[Am]d
I could ne[C/G]ver gather bi[B]rds enough to carry 'round your hear[C/G]t   [B]

[G]But I see traces of your [C/G]thoughts out h[G]ere
I see [Em]a sight; I hear a so[B]und
I only[Am] comfort in the [C/G]brittleness of days[B] when I can hold what I just [C/G]foun[B]d

In the un[C/G]tired ey[G]es of the lau[B]ghing [Em]child
An[C/G]d the dirtiest swe[G]ater he ow[B]ns
[C/G]Early, sun-warmed pine[G]
[B]And all those life-like s[Em]ins
[C/G]That will pull out the m[G]emories to sho[B]w
[B]I'm not leavin' alone
[C/G]I'm not leavi[B]n' alone  [G]

If just that weather-beatin' plane was here
Haven't seen it since I came
Can only wonder if it's near or in the skies
When this damn city sounds the same

And sometimes I'm just a tangle in this trampled wheat
Shirk a-like a losing dog
If just tonight that I could be where you are near
And just forget where I am lost

In the untired eyes of the laughing child
And the dirtiest sweater he owns
Early, sun-warmed pine
And all those life-like sins
That will pull out the memories to show
I'm not leavin' alone
I'm not leavin' alone
