Calmer Waters
Calmer Waters

It first hit me in the grocery store
That I am on my own
No one to hold my place in line
I push that cart alone

Now I'm walking the aisles all by myself
Making like I'm cooking for two
Almost reached for that Japanese beer you liked
Babe a good drunk Is overdue

Chorus:
Treading water in the stormy seas
Now the wake is over my head
I'll set my course for a distant shore
Calmer waters, on an even keel instead

Fog curls up on delta sands
Tules sway where her bow should be
Haul the groceries in, set the alarm
'Cause no one's coming in after me

Chorus

Bridge:
Sailing towards a west coast sunset
Always seemed a safe bet
Until that boat capsized
Soon I'll wake to an eastern sunrise
Just save your hollow goodbyes
Her reflection's in your eyes

Chorus

It first hit me in the grocery store
That I am on my own
