Song For Duncan - The Connells

Steady on

Already gone

Mostly

Open-eyed

And open-armed

Mostly

Please be even

Please be able

Please be everything you’ve got

Please be steady

Please be stable

Please be everything I’m not

Well, you sleep all night

And you dream all day

And you reach up high

And stow your stars away

And you run on fumes

And you roll on rails

And you harvest hope

When everything else fails

Settle in

To your skin

Slowly

Cast it out

Walk about

Slowly

Please be open

Please be grateful

Please be everything you got

Please be ready

Please be able

Please be everything I’m not

Well, you dream all night

And you sleep all day

And you reach down low

And hide your stars away

And you run on fumes

And you roll on rails

And you harvest hope

When everything else fails

Well, you perish thoughts

And you walk away

And you clear your eyes

To see and start the day

And you look around

And you slip your chains

And you venture out

And bring them home again
