Nol Wells Brighter Day Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, my friend who can't see it was the end has come to stay
Though we had just been lustin' for a brighter day
We collected our commodities
And filed all our memories
Away, hey, hey
And, oh, how we've been keepin' score
Of all the times we've wanted more
To come our way

[Verse 2]
Oh, my friend, I've plead with you to make amends
Though I have loved like a wounded dove that heaven sent
I thought that I had been alone
And needed you to make a home
To save me
Now I have begun to breathe
The solitude has given me
A chance to be

[Verse 3]
I will admit it's hard to say it and witness fate
Tryin' all I can to stand this sorry state
Prayin' that we afford
Hopin' for some comfort that's
Foreign to me
Longing for some gentle thing
To guide us where we're meant to be
Scared away
We collected our commodities
And filed all our memories
Away, hey, hey
And, oh, how we've been keepin' score
And all the ways we've wanted for
A brighter day
