Nadia Reid - Even Now Lyrics

I can't help but keep a lookout
Try to find the way it worked out
Covering my loneliness nowhere
See it for the art at any rate
To suffer and not change

Change my heart almost daily
Mother me with warmth and safety
Bound by the days we spent them through
Held by the eyes I look at you

Bustling through Barcelona
Feel the heart inside her
Working by the hammer sees you through
Working by the light makes us two

Tired of protecting my loneliness
The greatest thing I've known is holiness
When there was hunger you held me
When I was only 23

Watch me in my great departure
Daughterhood to greener pasture
Distance is required
Distance is desired
Even now

Climb on board my slow train baby
To suffer and not change
Won't see you through
Bound by the days
We spent them through
I see you in your glory there you are
Gentle in its action falling star
Simple in its knowing
Words without a home

I can't help but keep watch darling
Distance is required
Distance is desired
Even now
