Bloodstains from June Star by Matthew Borr

Bloodstains on my fingertips
Songs that linger on her lips
Back and forth I chase the greener day

Blinded by some city lights
She's beautiful as a summer night
I'll see it through, so I won't feel the pain

Even though I knew your name
Didn't I scratch that on your wall
The writing clear and painted gold
Sometimes things don't seem the same
That you counted on all along
You'll be standing in your station
To ride that train back home again

Highways reach up to the sky
Shooting stars upon her eyes
Carolina holds us like a child

Seabirds sing an endless tune
The ocean waves beneath the moon
My heart just breaks now everytime she smiles

Even though I knew your name
Didn't I scratch that on your wall
The writing clear and painted gold
Sometimes things don't seem the same
That you counted on all along
You'll be standing in your station
To ride that train back home again

And it's alright, alright
My soul is strong
My blue eyes can see
That the road we travel's hard and too long
I'd not rather be walking with anyone else

Bloodstains on my fingertips
Songs that linger on her lips
Back and forth I chase the greener day

Branches on the old Oak tree
Winding rivers reach the sea
Even though the waters go astray
Even though the waters go astray
