Liner Notes

Poem I found from many many years ago about falling out with my best friend. Glad to say we are best friends again 8 years later, but always loved these lyrics! #pianoballad #fallingout #friendship #drivingmetaphor

Lyrics

Verse 1:
You were patient with me
Broken bottles in the sea
Saltwater well above our knees
But you were patient with me

Chorus:
The snow piled up on the windshield
Faster than the wipers could heave
We moved the miles by inches
You were patient with me
We were evergreen

Verse 2:
Look at the keepsakes we made
And the photos I saved
That flicker of light in your face
Was the lantern on my darkest days

Chorus:
The snow piled up on the windshield
Faster than the wipers could heave
We moved the miles by inches
You were patient with me
We were evergreen

Verse 3:
We didn't rush
But oh how we ran
I made it out in the end
But there's no making it without you my friend

Chorus:
The snow piled up on the windshield
Faster than the wipers could heave
We moved the miles by inches
You were patient with me
We were evergreen
You were patient with me
We were evergreen

Lovely piano rolling chords. Your voice is beautiful and I like the way you blend it with piano. Great job. Lyric is making me cry!

Beautiful melody with some lovely, touching piano arpeggios. Compelling stories. Way to go bringing back lyrics from the past. Well done.
