Permanent Way
Charlie Cunningham
One life fades
Let another shine in its place
It's just the moving of colors
My hands don't play the same
But they'll try anyway
Each accusing the other
You can do what you want
But I'm making my own way
Either you will or you won't
You're longing on
If you can yourself in
If daylight breaks
And you're still miles away
You should move into cover
I'll try and escape
In a more permanent way
Can we keep to each other
Where you've been all this time
Would you give one more day
If you're able I've wondered
Before they clear one more place
At the table I've wondered
A penny for your thoughts
So many for the fall
Before they meet each other
If daylight breaks
And you're still miles away
You should move into cover
I'll try and escape
In a more permanent way
Can we keep to each other
You can do what you want
But I'm makin' my own way
