Trent Schmick songs
Blow Away
Hey little girl in the shadow writing a poem
Notebook pages are scattered with letter about "home"
Bleeding alone in the darkness, frozen in fear
Stitching together the words you long to hear.
In the dim lights of coffee shops people will come and then go
Each with a personal life you'd like to know.
But you swallowed too many dreams to never feel full
and the hunger you feel in your soul has taken it's toll.
Chorus
And it's hard to see when you keep the lights low
Your mind is racing, but your body is slow.
So you stand in the wind hoping you'll just blow away.
In the summer the laughter burns then fades into fall
and everything that's so beautiful, soon you won't recall.
As the winter ices the wounds that never quite heal
Still you can't close your eyes to a world you hope is real.
Chorus
You want what they have and the others sure know
and the weight of your footprints are erased from the snow.
So you stand in the sun hoping you'll just melt away.
And it's hard to see when you keep the lights low
Your mind is racing, but your body is slow.
So you stand in the wind hoping you'll just blow away.
