lyrics

Go on, I will follow you down
Leave a trail of glitter all over town
Pick the lock, break the key
What we want we can make for free
Go on, I will listen to you
Sing along so I can listen to you
All our troubles, the hard things
Start to fade when you
Start to sing

(chorus)
You taught me a good song makes you think, makes you feel and
makes you move
I don't know how to write one for you
It's a language you gave to me
And now it's the only gift I can give to you
To you

Go on, tell me one more time, you said
I'm getting older and no one tells me anymore, you said
You're magic, we all know it,
Anyone that meets you, they know it
Go on, you will make it through this, I said
You been through worse and you will make it through this, I said
But all the magic, the machines
Couldn't keep you here with me

(chorus)
You used to give us your blessing
Like a God that lived closer to home
I can still hear the sound of you
Laughing on the phone
I would pray to you
Even when you were alive
Alive in me
Alive in things
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
Even when I know you're alive everywhere
(even downtown voices carry)
