lyrics

there's a freedom i remember only when you're not around
i've got the picture in my pocket that i took when i was down
just to show you that your shadow was the only shade around
i've got a way of saying nothing from the ground

i'm the ghost of something bigger than the world has never seen
i swear that i was only hiding from what i knew i could be
there are days when all i am is what i think you think of me
and it's no wonder that the good ones are the hardest to believe

there are bones that never break
there are skies that never fall
i've got my face against the moon
i've got my back against the wall
i'm catchin up to what i figure is the very best of me
when i find it won't you come and see

i think i understand you better when there's not a thing to say
and there's a way to tell the story not to give the end away
there are times you tell the ending 'cause you'd like to go that way
and when the road is long and narrow you've got little room to stray

there are bones that never break
and there are skies that never fall
i've got my face against the moon
i've got my back against the wall
i'm catchin up to what i figure is the very best of me
when i find it won't you come and see

i've got a way of being careful when there's nothing left to break
i've got a way of reinventing when there's nothing left to make
i've got a way of getting greedy when there's nothing left to take
learn to harvest from the branches you can shake

you see the one thing i was thinking was the one thing that i found
too afraid to be a liar to ever make a sound
we've got a way of praying louder when we think we're gonna drowned
i've got a way of praying louder when i think god ain't around

there are bones that never break
and there are skies that never fall
i've got my face against the moon
i've got my back against the wall
i'm catchin up to what i figure is the very best of me
when i find it won't you come and see

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
