Something To Me

Tift Merritt
Oh the song I love the best
The one my father taught to me
The kindness of a stranger
Is dust from an unseen wing
But an old friend at my table
Is by far the finest thing
This tired mile could give to me
Oh the colors of the man I love
Are deepest blue and green
And it isn't very often
That I say just what I mean
'Cause the feeling seems to scatter
And these words fall in between
For what I miss, just tell you this
It's something to me
It's something to me
Don't know what it comes to
And it's not so much to see
You'll take tomorrow
So long as you know
It's something to me
It's something to me
Gentle is the road within me
And it's gently I depart
Because these well-worn threads of daylight
Sometimes come apart
Giving way to all these shadows
Where no-one can hear your heart
So down in the dark
That's where you are
It's something to me
It's something to me
I don't know what it comes to
And it's not so much to see
You should take tomorrow
So long as you know
It's something to me
It's something to me
Well the tender hands of morning
Have given up a new sunrise
And we all get up together
In our ordinary lives
Going one step for another
Giving up has crossed my mind
I'll take a long day
Come around the right way
It's something to me
It's something to me
Don't know what it comes to
And it's not so much to see
You should take tomorrow
So long as you know
It's something to me
It's something to me
You take tomorrow
So long as you know
It's something to me
It's something to me
