lyrics
There's a fear that I might lose you
There's a fear that this will end
As happiness smothers all my thoughts
Will you be honest my friend
Happiness is what we chase
Happiness is all that we're striving for
But when you have all you want
Tell me is it what you've been looking for
Or do you still ask for more
Will I hold onto you more tightly
To keep you from flying away
But does the caged bird lose its beauty
If I try to make you stay
Constancy is what we want
A plan to know our tiny world won't change
But I have had my courses wrecked
By the moon's will upon the waves
So I cannot make you stay
I am thankful for your words
So precisely measured and poured
I am thankful for the hurt
If your love should bring the sword
For I have seen a far country
And distant stars peaking through the night
Though your love is now unknown
I know I will yet see the light
For I have seen a far country
And distant stars peaking through the night
Though your love is so far away
I know I will yet see the light
There's a fear that this will end
As happiness smothers all my thoughts
Will you be honest my friend
Happiness is what we chase
Happiness is all that we're striving for
But when you have all you want
Tell me is it what you've been looking for
Or do you still ask for more
Will I hold onto you more tightly
To keep you from flying away
But does the caged bird lose its beauty
If I try to make you stay
Constancy is what we want
A plan to know our tiny world won't change
But I have had my courses wrecked
By the moon's will upon the waves
So I cannot make you stay
I am thankful for your words
So precisely measured and poured
I am thankful for the hurt
If your love should bring the sword
For I have seen a far country
And distant stars peaking through the night
Though your love is now unknown
I know I will yet see the light
For I have seen a far country
And distant stars peaking through the night
Though your love is so far away
I know I will yet see the light

about
Lilly Aline Iowa City, Iowa
Since my start writing songs in junior high, music has been a vital part of how I process the world, as I find inspiration from folk lyrics, jazz singing styles, and pop melodies. Around Iowa City, I can be found at the Mill’s Open Mic Night and singing jazz in the School of Music. Whether in a bar, church, or concert hall, I love using guitar and voice to express beauty and hope to audiences. ... more
