lyrics

I had my heart set on some things
now I'm here with nothing at all
but a truce with you and these things
(that I'm looking for)
plans have changed & I've been forced
to walk away without anything at all

that summer's gone
our path has lifted
our words are here
but our time has moved away

we spoke when you were in the gold coast of Chicago
(I was patiently waiting)

Tara Lynn
I thought I'd be with you now
now ever since
my plans stay buried

I had my heart set on some things
now it's a truce with you that I have
I'll stay west & wait for these things
(that I've been looking for)
now that plans have changed & I've been forced
to walk away without anything at all

that summer's gone
our path has lifted
my blueprints for my last few years I've thrown away

we spoke when you were in the gold coast of Chicago
(I was patiently waiting)
I thought we would be married by now
(but I'm back looking)

Tara Lynn
I thought I'd be with you now
ever since
my plans stay buried (for someone else)

Tara Lynn
I thought we'd be married by now ow ow
now ever since
my plans stay buried

I like to pretend I have a really talented friend who recorded this album as a gift. That's what it feels like; a gift from a stupidly close friend. sherryking
