Barn Song - Chris Pureka

This is a barn and I know it’s haunted

The corn rattles and the shadows move

It’s just the way, it’s just the way I’m feeling

I want to lie down in a field of rain

This is a river and I pray for the bottom

Some kind of measure of the way things change

I’ve been stuck in the middle of a slow storm, counting the days, love

I know we’re in the dark, and the cold comes

Through the very cracks that let the light through

Bring me something back from that sunny coast, and keep us, moving on

These are the shadowlands, I’ve known them

And I think it’s going to be the long way down

But I’ll be the tiny flame, that you carry around, around, around

I know we’re in the dark, and the cold comes

Through the very cracks that let the light through

Bring me something back from that sunny coast, and keep us, moving on

This is a blessing and I don’t date doubt it

We built a boat out of willow trees

We caught the moonlight, like a mirror

Shine right through to the best of me

Shine right through to the best of me

We’ve been living in abandoned houses

Sometimes we’re tending to abandoned fields

It’s just the way it’s just the way I’m feeling

I want to wake up with the sun in my head
