Greensky Bluegrass
Into the Rafters
[Verse 1]
Travelling through these mountains
Far from home
Looking for the reason
Looking for the road
Alone and in good company
I've found a way to make myself
A part of these towns
[Chorus]
And all the while
These birds find their way
Into the rafters
They don't know what the rafter
Like I can't reach you
You're too far away
I keep losing pieces that I just can't carry
I wish we'd just stop spinning
Because these words mean nothing
When you're too far away
[Verse 2]
Never seen these turns we're taking
Never been here before
Couldn't wrap myself around it
Couldn't take my eyes away
I'm not stopping long
Between these trips and choices
Gathering several moments
Leave songs behind
[Chorus]
And all the while
These birds find their way
Into the rafters
They don't know what the rafter
Like I can't reach you
You're too far away
I keep losing pieces that I just can't carry
I wish we'd just stop spinning
Because these words mean nothing
When you're too far away
[Verse 3]
Keep myself in comfort
With the things I take at home
More gin and late nights help the mornings come
But I can hear a voice that loves me
I'm wrapped inside my memories
Farther from home
[Chorus]
And all the while
These birds find their way
Into the rafters
They don't know what the rafter
Like I can't reach you
You're too far away
I keep losing pieces that I just can't carry
I wish we'd just stop spinning
Because these words mean nothing
When you're too far away
