about

Long For The Light (Ebert, Baer, Kelly) Christa Ebert - vocals / Carley Baer - accordion, baritone ukulele / Claire Kelly - guitar

lyrics

I long for the night
Long for the days
I had something to give
Had something to say

I long for a light
Like the stars in the sky
Sailors would see me
As their ships passed by

Do you see me?

They would see me
They would love me
They would come from miles around
They would know that I’d be watching
Even when the sun goes down

Standing in the dark
With such bitter bones
Abandoned and broken
For years on my own

People in this town
All they do is condemn
Tearing down history
Starting over again

Leaving me empty
Leaving me lonely
Oh if I could only
Start over again

They would see me
They would love me
They would come from miles around
They would know that I’d be watching
Even when the sun goes down

They would see me
They would love me
They would come from miles around
They would know that I’d be watching
Even when the sun goes down

Standing in the dark
Songs gone unheard
No one to listen
Except for these birds

Do you hear me?
