Verse 1
Skyline dull in the ashy night
Tarnished soul as my key ignites
Driving to a second life
Triple lanes on 95
Hush as I leave
Headed for the evergreens
The highways flow
To my childhood home
Chorus
Life was hollow
Didn’t sleep 7 years
Need a renascence
And I’m reborn here
So let’s sit on the roof tonight
A milky way of fireflies and bliss
And I’m not giving it up again
Verse 2
Whippoorwill, fly North again
Up Beech Hill with an unknown friend
He is rare as Northern light
Quarry skin and emerald eyes
Our trails have crossed
Now we’re in a renascence
His moon is my pearl
He ebbs my world
Chorus
Life was hollow
Didn’t sleep 7 years
Need a renascence
And I’m reborn here
So let’s sit on the roof tonight
A milky way of fireflies and bliss
And I’m not giving it up again
Bridge
Orange ripples on the lake
Waves wash old days away
Earthy smell on his shirt
Hair damp from the water
We grow hoarse, comets pass
Stories stained by fresh cut grass
Let this new life last, at last
Outro
So let’s sit on the roof tonight
A milky way of fireflies and bliss
And I’m not giving it up again

Verse 1
Meadow stained sheets
Overgrown weeds
Wild blueberries
The dulcet taste of summer
Sipping in the twilight
Your balmy hand is firm in mine
Through the path as fireflies
Rise from their slumber
Chorus
Neowise hovers in the sky
Once in a hundred lifetimes
It’s so rare to find
Such a clear night
When naked mortal eyes
Intertwine
Past earthly chatter
160 million miles away
67 hundred years since she last came
Since she last came
Verse 2
The town is out to play
After living locked away
That’s no way to stay
On this sacred night of summer
The air tonight is fresh
As they turn away from death
As they take in the first breath
Holding everything that they have left
Chorus
Neowise hovers in the sky
Once in a hundred lifetimes
It’s so rare to find
Such a clear night
When naked mortal eyes
Intertwine
Past earthly chatter
160 million miles away
67 hundred years since she last came
Since she last came
Verse 3
Stargazing with you
Remedied, renewed
Jupiter’s moons rise like big white balloons
Telescopes and ancient myths
Don’t foretell a love like this
A solar eclipse
In your fingertips
Chorus
Neowise hovers in the sky
Once in a hundred lifetimes
It’s so rare to find
Such a clear night
When naked mortal eyes
Intertwine
Past earthly chatter
160 million miles away
67 hundred years since she last came
Since she last came
Outro
You came from 13 hundred mile away
25 years till you made your way to me

Verse 1
You picked me up from off the ground
I’m mostly patches bout now
Oh you really know how to sew
You mend me up and we’ll be ready to go
Gonna watch the garden grow
Verse 2
You gather me up at my seams
You wring me out until I gleam
On your loom you start to weave
Making something new out of scraps of me
Oh, let’s watch the stars put on their show
Chorus
I’m just a loose end
Eaten by moths
But to you I’m a
Spectacular piece of cloth
A quilt in a book
The kind they hang on the wall
Or cuddle in on the porch swing
Watching red leaves fall
I feel them cover us all
Verse 3:
You lay me down on your bed
The pillow under your sleepy head
You never hide me in your drawer
Not headed to Goodwill forevermore
Oh, let’s find something sweet to sew
Chorus
I’m just a loose end
Eaten by moths
But to you I’m a
Spectacular piece of cloth
A quilt in a book
The kind they hang on the wall
Or cuddle in on the porch swing
Watching red leaves fall
They sew a quilt for us all

Verse 1
Loved you since before I knew
You walked upon this Earth too
4 am on Monday morning
I’m lying next to you
We steal minutes in our pockets
Spread them in the foggy sea
4 am on Monday morning
You’re waking next to me
Chorus
How did I get so lucky?
To find someone so easy to love
I can see a life before me
Where we stay us
Verse 2
Ride the ferry to Monhegan
Staying out for the long weekend
Ocean air and wind shaped cliffs
Hold me for a sunset kiss
Fairy houses in the moss
Smooth stones that the waves have tossed
Every golden day you give
I’ll never forget them as long as I live
Chorus
How did I get so lucky?
To find someone so easy to love
I can see a life before me
Where we stay us
Verse 3
Our wheels spinning on the mainland
Stop sign whispers
Kissing your hand
4 am and we’re still up
Pouring starlight in our cup
Chorus
How did I get so lucky?
To find someone so easy to love
I can see a life before me
Where we stay us
