The Connells
Song For Duncan
Steady on
Already gone
Mostly
Open-eyed
And open-armed
Mostly

Please be even
Please be able
Please be everything you've got
Please be steady
Please be stable
Please be everything I’m not

Well, you sleep all night
And you dream all day
And you reach up high
And stow your stars away
And you run on fumes
And you roll on rails
And you harvest hope
When everything else fails

Settle in
To your skin
Slowly
Cast it out
Walk about
Slowly
Please be open
Please be grateful
Please be everything you got
Please be ready
Please be able
Please be everything I'm not

Well, you dream all night
And you sleep all day
And you reach down low
And hide your stars away
And you run on fumes
And you roll on rails
And you harvest hope
When everything else fails

Well, you perish thoughts
And you walk away
And you clear your eyes
To see and start the day
And you look around
And you slip your chains
And you venture out
And bring them home again
