When the One Flowered Suitcase - The Innocence Mission

When the one flowered suitcase declares winter over

Plans, whether realized or not, do their best

And we have got to keep on

We meant to start here.

A new year

In Finland, with cloud banks slanting down

We thought that it mattered — it did not

Like no money, and we’ve got to keep on

And carry each other

Through these forests

Through these long buildings

Up every stair flight

Let’s say we are tired

From getting our hopes up again

Again, let’s say we are tired

Yes, it’s alright I hear you

Yes, it’s alright

Yes, it’s alright I’m with you

When the one flowered suitcase is replaced

Is untraced, let us not change so much

Let’s stay in our old clothes

And walk around this known and dear life

And carry each other

Through these forests

Through these long buildings

Up every stair flight

Let’s say we are tired

From getting our hopes up again

Again, let’s say we are tired

Yes, it’s alright I hear you

Yes, it’s alright

Yes, it’s alright I’m near you

Yes, it’s alright

Yes, it’s alright I’m with you
