Come This Far Lyrics - Singles - Kate Earl

This pale Mucha postcard 

Brings back orange carpet 

We called roaches butterflies 

And ate our pies at Birchwood Saloon 

Off the only road that leaves the state 

I would sing and pass the plate 

They all knew me by my face 

And my father's name 

Heavy letter underneath my door, stark reminder when I had before 

It's hard to believe I've come this far 

Heavy letter in the dresser drawer, tore it open like a candy bar 

It's hard to believe I've come this far 

Bright red hot rod hardtop 

Off to town for Moose's Tooth 

You comin' with to the parkin' lot 

If not you know, my window's never locked 

Drew leaned in and said it 

But his heart wouldn't let it 

That's all right 

I'll be my husband's wife 

Heavy letter makes a perfect mark on the page and in the heart 

It's hard to believe I've come this far 

Heavy letter in the dresser drawer, tore it open like a candy bar 

It's hard to believe I've come this far 

Nervous, tearin' through the sky 

Grievin' every inch I gain 

Counting pools and freeways 

I will sing and pass the plate 

They will know me by my face 

And my father's name 

Heavy letter in the dresser drawer, tore it open like a candy bar 

It's hard to believe I've come this far 

Heavy letter headed for your shore, a premonition of what's in store 

It's hard to believe we've come this far
