"Over The Finish Line" lyrics
Aoife O'Donovan & Anaïs Mitchell Lyrics
"Over The Finish Line"
Once in a lifetime
The power is ours
But we'd rather stare at our phones
Talking about nothing
Heads in the clouds
Might as well leave it alone
If I could change a mind, whose mind?
If I could make something to get us o'er the finish line
America's bleeding
We're watching her die
Fire and blood on the screens
Her headlights receding
She's waving goodbye
Curtain comes down on the scene
Holding her torch high
Stumbling below
Luck be a lady tonight
Ships in the shadows
Heavy laden with gold
See how they catch the light
If I could change a mind, whose mind?
If I could make something to get us o'er the finish line
We're living in hard times, feeling hard times, living in hard times
Living in hard times
Hard times
Living in hard times
Is it hard times
Became a mother
Trying to figure it out
But everything fills me with dread
What will we leave her?
Words stick in my mouth
And I hear your voice in my head
What is this democracy?
Carrie I fear that we've made our beds
If I could change a mind, whose mind?
If I could make something to get us o'er the finish line
We're living in hard times, feeling hard times
Living in hard times
Hard times
This is hard times
Living in hard times
Feeling hard times
Living in hard times

Is something that I just can’t do.
I wish I could be there to share the moon

Watchhouse - "New Star" We settled in for the winter
The cast in our lives found a new star
And all of our remaining hours
Were bundled up tight and placed in our arms
Someday we'll be older
Our eyes may cry

Stone bona fide night flyer
I'm an angel of the morning too

Lucius - "Right Down The Line" You know I need your love
You've got that hold over me
Long as I've got your love
You know that I'll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it's been you woman...
Sam Beam & Jesca Hoop - "Sailor To Siren" This tenderness comes as a surprise
Drinking where the riverbed was dry
Trees in the wind trembling with love
That morning light drew you out the door
Mama didn't need you anymore
She pointed in...
