Entry Way Song

Bright Eyes

Last Saturday 
I stood in your entry way 
A place where we used to wait 
For cars to carry us away 
Like once in this storm 
They drove me and Justin home 
The music was just being born 
It was all I was longing for 
Now I'm on a plane 
Of singing my songs again 
Oh, please don't think ill of it 
It's the reason I exist 
But you 
You're the crutch of a cripple 
You're the calm of a conscience 
You're the peace that I have found 
When all these voices talk too loud 
Well, you are quietly reassuring me 
With the hands of a healer 
And the tongue of a teacher 
its your voice that I have known 
To be the first one on the phone 
Yeah, you ran all the lights to the hospital 

So don't you say to me 
That life's a trap 
The future is nothing but a tragedy 
'Cos I'll be out of that window 
Yeah, I'll start wishing to die again 
Just say we're not walking backwards, kid 
And show me to the door 
And I'll walk behind 
Out into the hot sunlight 
Where the world's very much alive 
Even when I close my eyes 

Well, should I admit 
That my promise is counterfeit 
That I'm careless and childish 
And that's all I can hope to be 
And would you concede 
That I think only of myself 
I refuse everybody's help 
Who has been reaching out for me 
Well, you reach with the soul of a sailor 
And the swing of a miner 
You have cleared the rock away 
Leaving gold there in its place 
And it is more than anyone could claim 
Oh, with the sense of a banker 
And with the touch of a tailor 
You saved this life for me 
And you have sown it to beauty 
And I am grateful now and I will always be 

So would you sing with me 
The song is all I know 
Some truths are told now only in a melody 
So I've been writing a new one 
Yeah, I've been taking my time with it 
It's gonna be so perfect 
It's gonna hold all of us inside of it 
You will see 
If you just add your harmony 
I think it would be complete 
And be worthy of singing 
Becomes a symphony 

Yeah, you're the cool of the water 
You're the start of the summer 
Keep me still like a anchor 
In a storm you're the cellar 
When I'm heavy with worry make me light as a feather 
When I'm deafened by anger you're the song I remember 
With the grace of a dancer and the strength of a pillar 
When I'm starving to suffer you just fill me with laughter 
You're a poet 
And a saint 
You are the only one I choose to imitate 
Oh, like the love of a father through the eye of a camera 
It's this picture I have seen 
We're on a sloping hill of green 
And you are walking there beside me
