Stephen

Banana yellow light on the river
Asked who was there and got a shiver
Splintered winter lingers on

Mother laughed at Father when he told his daughter
“Keep kickin’ the can down the road
Keep kickin’ the can down the road”

Stephen’s gonna sit back and watch the season
Carry on
Stephen, give me a better reason
Not to play this song
How do you hold your breath that long?
How do you hold your breath that long?
Stephen
The show must go on

Things are gettin’ sorta weird over here
The water left my tears
Apathy snuck through the crack in my doorway
And tried to throw my God-given grace away
While the story of Stephen set my pillow on fire
With the glory of dreamin’ I’d call him a liar
Oh maybe he just didn’t understand
A full grown woman needs a full grown man

Stephen’s gonna sit back and watch the season
Carry on
Stephen, give me a better reason
Not to play this song
How do you hold your breath that long?
How do you hold your breath that long?
Stephen
The show must go on

Oh sweet love
I do it ‘cause I love you
So when you told me not to
I couldn’t ‘cause I love you
