[Steemit Exclusive] "Reasons" (with lyrics) Live at Lindberg's

in #originalmusic8 years ago (edited)

I usually preface this song with the explanation that it's a song about cheatin' and leavin', and it's called "Reasons."



This is a song I wrote quite a while back, but it still very much resonates with me, and I find myself being almost transported back in time to these moments, and perhaps that's why I keep coming back to it. I hope you enjoy.



Lyrics

"Reasons"
Jessamyn Orchard

You come to me
And you kiss my face
And I know this is some kind of treason
You can't tell the sun from a storm
And you cannot find your reasons

You come to me when you are down on your luck
When you cannot find a lover to believe in
You hold me tight, and I will whisper your name
And I'll be those reasons for leavin

I come to you as a friend because I know
That our love, it penetrates all of the seasons
And I don't get how I cannot let this go--
I've been looking, but can't find my reasons

I come to you for a while every year
When I cannot find a lover worth believing

When we've put on the shelf
Both our hearts and our health
Take my hand, love, I'll take you
We're leavin.
