lyrics

molly has eyes to see what is not shown
she takes me to places to sing over bones
and the stories i tell you well they're not my own
but i know them so well they're from the fields that i've sewn

and the people i've loved well i still love them now
and you know that the truth is i miss them somehow
though the pain that they gave me still lingers around
and causes the noises in my brain to be loud

light a fire for me and when you invite me in
tell me where you are going and where you have been
and if it all seems to much, well you can ask me to leave
and ill befriend the night owl and the old willow tree

find a sailboat, and i will, cross the ocean, i will float
find a sailboat and i will go with you

now the people are all getting stuck in their ways
and johnny says money is the thing that he hates
and if we all got along, and tore down the gates
we could fight off the greed that makes everything grey

and the way that you said, it was the way that you sang
it was the moon in the morning, it was the notes that you played
and i don't remember much, but i remember that day
and how you made me feel about love and the rain

light a fire for me and when you invite me in
tell me where you are going and where you have been
and if it all seems to much, well you can ask me to leave
and ill befriend the night owl and the old willow tree

find a sailboat and i will go, cross the ocean i will float
find a sailboat and i will go with you

find a sailboat and i will go, cross the ocean i will float
find a sailboat and i will go with you

light a fire for me and when you invite me in
tell me where you are going and where you have been
and if it all seems to much, well you can ask me to leave
and ill befriend the night owl and the old willow tree
