Lyrics
Thanksgiving Day
By Matt Stamm
Each year you?ve been away
I call you up Thanksgiving Day
Just to see what?s different and what?s the same
We say to love one another
I can?t even talk to my brother
That ain?t much different anyway
We keep a light in your room
Now that you?re out on your own
We burn a candle by your bed
Gotta try to hold it together
Nothing?s easy, nothing?s forever
Hope you?re finding a place to rest your head
CHORUS: It?s quiet now
But lately I can?t fall asleep
When you ask I?ll say
?cause we?re growing up and always changing
It?s a power that no one knows
The wind whips by and the river flows
Past the place where I used to live with you
In the house just over that hill
Wrapped in a silent shade of still
Steady life never really suited you
CHORUS
This room is spinning around
I think you?d better sit down
Before your running feet hit the ground
A little late to be suddenly reaching out
Quicksand and you?re already waist deep now
Wish it could have been better for you
But we did what we do and we?ll never be back here again
Each year you?ve been away
I call you up Thanksgiving Day
Just to see what?s different and what?s the same
We say to love one another
I can?t even talk to my brother
That ain?t much different anyway
CHORUS
