Cold Easterly from Family by greenshine

COLD EASTERLY
Wish I could be your South wind instead of cold Easterly
Sometimes all I represent is misery
Wish I could be the sun falling gently on your skin or a feather you can hold inside your had
But some days I'm the heavy step you feel inside your heart

The cold wind blows. I see you brace your shoulders
But I'm still the girl you knew, if a little older
Let's go somewhere like we used to do, maybe shoot a little pool
Cruise around, maybe go down to the sea
Just you and me

The early days of lightness long forgotten, I try hard to remember them now
You were the one I took to be my guide but I thought you a thing or two of tolerance
And this you can use these days when you deal with me

The cold wind blows. I see you brace your shoulders
But I'm still the girl you knew, if a little older
Let's go somewhere like we used to do, maybe shoot a little pool
Cruise around, maybe go down to the sea
Just you and me

And when I rail it's not at you
When I rail, it's not at you
When I rail, it's not at you
It's only me trying to find my way through

Wish I could be your South wind instead of cold Easterly
Sometimes all I represent is misery
Wish I could be the sun falling gently on your skin or a feather you can hold inside your had
But some days I'm the heavy step you feel inside your heart
