Oh Hope, My Tired Friend - Heather Maloney

I’ve been waiting on delivery to come to me a while

It’s been there in my periphery just out of reach

I been waiting on so many stars and when i was a child

I thought they’d twinkle down

The wishes I sent up their way

But they betray the ones who pray for happiness

Oh, hope my tired friend

I followed you right to the end of that road

And ill follow it right back to me

I been waiting on lovers friends foreign family

To think and feel and act the way I want them to

I been waiting on the human race to rise to grace for me

But i needed them to be the ones, the rule of thumbs

The monks the nuns the major drums for happiness

Oh, hope my tired friend

I followed you right to the end of the road

And I’ll follow it right back to me

Every little flower in the field

Every little death upon my windshield

Every set of eyes that drive by

Every single thing has been a sign

I been overlooking everything that’s right in front of me

I been searching for the message from beyond

I been chasing the horizon line the end of time

The sacred sign the holy wine of happiness

Oh, hope my tired friend

I’ll followed you right to the end of the road

And i’ll follow it right back to me

I’ll follow it right back to me i’ll follow it back hey

Every little broken highway line

Every single thing’s been a sign
