CARBON LEAF LYRICS - Paloma

"Paloma"



Chase the high ground - where you'd rather be

Where you might be found

Face all aglow, to leave from here

To pack up and go

But it takes some time to get away

And you will have to build from what remains

To run it takes the courage of a lamb

To love, the fierceness of a storm



Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder

Everyone's staring, but no one is caring for you now

Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze

Just take the leap... and you're free



Chase the high ground - where you'd rather be

Where you might be found

This move may erase the troubles in your head

Or expose the absence of your soul

And so, it takes some time to get away

And you will have to tear down what remains

And I can't stand for goodbyes

So hold on to me, or lead the way



Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder

Everyone's staring, but no one is caring for you now

Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze

Just take the leap... and you're free



Pace yourself when outrunning fear

Take cover when it's dark

And keep an even keel

In your world you're only a phone away

But in my world you're too far to feel

And it may take some time to learn what's real

And you may have to beg and borrow

And you will surely steal

Remember all those lonely sessions

Turned into yesterday's lessons

To never forget love, to never forget love



Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder

Everyone's staring, but no one is caring for you now

Just spread your wings, latch onto the breeze

Just take the leap... and you're free



Paloma you wonder if you'll miss the thunder

Everyone's staring but no one is caring for...

Paloma you cry out you beg for connection

The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction

Now you're free

Now that you're, you're free

Now that you're, you're free

You're free



Today I watched the greatest thing of all

A flock of birds, preparing for the fall
