lyrics

She watches as I vanish out the door, she may have called for me to stay, I go instead.
I’m needing to soothe my soul, and ease this lust for serenity, to clear my head.

And I know, I'm nestled in this, cradle of wood
Cause inside, I know that, I really should
Pack my bags, and leave this city behind
and pay no mind, to what I may not find.

This river is truly dry, I walk and feel it’s barren crackled bed, between my toes.
A tree needs water to grow, and maybe the stars will align, but who really knows?

Cause I know, I'm nestled in this, cradle of wood
And inside, I know that, I really should
Pack my bags, and leave this city behind
and pay no mind, to what I may not find.

Guitar Solo

This cradle may as well be a coffin to me,
This cradle may as well be a coffin to me
This cradle may as well be a coffin to me,
There comes a time, and it's time to leave
