Skipping Stones / North Fork

Skipping stones on a cold winter afternoon
Through the parting sky we can see the rising moon
The windowpanes may keep us dry
But a cold, lonely feeling slips inside

Saw a creek heading out to sea
And I told you to follow me
Up the hillside we did bound
Try to keep our heads above the ground

Chorus:
Wish I could tell you, the words you want to hear
We wore the day out, back and forth along the pier
Take a step now, if it feels right take another
Don’t see a way out except away from all the comforts
That are holding us here

Walked down to the beach and sat on the shore
Of this daylight we won’t see much more
We have to forget what could have been
Or what could have been will throw us again

Chorus

We’ll stay up late, commiserate
Wait for the new day
And for the days to hit us while we stand and wait

Chorus
