Stranded Songtext
von Corcel Sin Nombre

I knew somethin′ was off
It was in the eve of May
The spark you had began flickerin' away
Your persimmon energy
Now mulberry and clay
We′re learnin' things don't always go our way
I had to believe there was a chance
That I could pray this all away

Just like lights on a tree
Guess we got connected you and me
When your bulb burnt out
Took the light straight outta me
Left here stranded and blank
Missin′ my boy
Seein′ that face
Not just a memory


Now the trees are changin'
Streets of red leaves
And short dark days
All the prayin′ ain't doin′ no change
I guess God ain't hearin′ what I'm sayin'
Seems like the winter wants to take you
And you already seem frozen too
Don′t really try to move much
Oh my shepherd
Please don′t be in too much of a rush

Just like lights on a tree
Guess we got connected you and me
When your bulb burnt out
Took the light right outta me
Left here stranded and blank
Missin' my boy
Seein′ that face
Not just a memory

I'd reckon a person′s life is like
A single strand of Christmas lights
All the bulbs that glow
Some get dim and some get bright
As people come and go
When the day comes
Just one glass gets burnt black
And the whole line fails


Everything used to move from left to right
In flashes of blue, red and green lights
Then one bulb broke
And everything went black and white

And I was one to believe it's true
Colors have a way of showin′ through you

Now it's just drunken days
And sleepless nights

Oh my God
This is goin' way too fast
I see the pale in your eyes
And I′m too selfish to let you pass
Streets are all white
And my heart′s turned black
Sleigh ride on the waves
But I'm singin′ you good company to relax
Know I gotta do what's right by you
Was just hopin′ I'd steal one more Christmas or two

Just like lights on a tree
Guess we got connected you and me
When your bulb burnt out
Took all the light outta me
Left here stranded and blank
Missin′ my boy
Seein' that face
Not just a memory
