When everyone has gone to sleep and you are wide awake
there's no one left to tell your troubles to.
Just an hour ago, you listened to their voices
lilting like a river over underground
and the light from downstairs came up soft like daybreak
dimly as the heartache of a lonely child.
If you can't remember a better time
you can have mine, little one.
In days to come when your heart feels undone
may you always find an open hand
and take comfort wherever you can.
And oh, it's a strange place.
And oh, everyone with a different face
but just like you thought when you stopped here to linger
we're only as separate as your little fingers.
So cry, why not? we all do
then turn to one you love
and smile a smile that lights up all the room.
Follow your dreams in through every out-door
it seems that's what we're here for.
And when you can't remember a better time
you can have mine, little one.
In days to come when your heart feels undone
may you always find an open hand
and take comfort, there is comfort.
Take comfort wherever you can, you can, you can.
there's no one left to tell your troubles to.

One of those song that caries you away for a short moment where you can feel what seems so hard to live in real life...

I know this song from the episode of Dawsons Creek where Pacey and Joey kiss for the first time, its faintly playing in the background, been in love with it since then!
one of my favorite people in the world put this on a cd she made for me....whenever im mad at her or feel lonely and this song comes up on shuffle it makes me cry lol. its about like holding on to whatever you can, because life is hard and theres not always going to be someone there to comfort you at the time...so you just have to stick it out and fight sadness because 'you can, you can'. i love the 'And oh, it's a strange place. And oh, everyone with a different face but just like you thought when you stopped here to linger we're only as separate as your little fingers.'
its so good to listen to even when you aren't near the person who you want to be with...it's reassuring. i dont know why more people havent commented on this song, its amazing
amazing, they're all amazing
I am a sad soul.. it talks to me
