NICKEL CREEK LYRICS - Brand New Sidewalk

"Brand New Sidewalk"



Five years ago

you pressed your hand

into a brand new sidewalk

its well worn now

and though some tried

yours is the only print there



you might not have meant to but

its time you cant take it out

youre shy about what fortune lent you

is that what this is about?



Smile while you can

cause when they find

youre not amused, not really

they rob you blind

of what they gave

yes you gave them that power



you might not have meant to but

its time you cant take it back

you cry about where fame sent you

without a plan of attack



five years ago

i warned you, dear

as a concerned admirer

you never new, you never heard

the veil was still in place



thank god you hate to listen

cause i would not be here

lifting the veil to kiss you

next to a brand new sidewalk
