lyrics

are the days laid out before us
are they wrapped in close behind
it’s a lot like i remember
this is what i had in mind

there’s a beauty in the spaces
that the music leaves behind
and there’s a beauty in the faces
we forget from time to time

if i ask you for forgiveness
would you ask what it was for
i would say because i love you
and we all could use some more

it’s a nickel for our troubles
it’s a penny for our love
and if we always have a penny
then we’ll always have enough

and i will have to leave you sometimes
and i know the same for you
and i don’t know what i’ll be writing
but i’ll be writing it to you
and if you hold me ‘til the morning
i will tell you what i know
that we’ve got strings for making music
and it’s a long and precious road

these are days of resolution
these are days of sand and stone
these are days of building bridges
these are days of coming home

so here’s to always standing taller
here’s to always being kids
here’s to knowing when to holler
here’s to knowing that we did

and i will have to leave you sometimes
and i know the same for you
and i don’t know what i’ll be writing
but i’ll be writing it to you
and if you hold me ‘til the morning
i will tell you what i know
that we've got strings for making music
and it's a long and precious road

and if you hold me ‘til the morning
i will tell you what i know
that we've got strings for making music
and it’s a long and precious road

we've got strings for making music
and it’s a long and precious road

about

Shawnee Kilgore Austin, Texas

"Shawnee Kilgore is to music as velvet gloves are to diamond cutters,” wrote James Hardesty, owner of the Green Frog Acoustic Tavern in Bellingham, WA. “She holds all this beauty in her hand, raw and untouched, then she chips away until it gleams in the light, holding on with a soft gentleness that she has perfected." ... more
