Lyrics

Ordinary Day - Emily Hickey

Scared by the water
Panicked at the smallest sound
A broken dog don?t wander
Broken, you might also call this home

The third month brings a new scene
October always gets so cold
They send a man to rake the leaves
Wind picks up, you watch them go

This isn?t a final moment, no
It?s just an ordinary day
It isn?t a guarded border, no
Just a slowly rusting gate

Hallelujah?

Shake me out don?t let me in
Shattered kid, don?t lose your news
An old Irish angel sent
Couldn?t put my life to use

I need a hard rain to fall
A blackbird on my windowsill
I need a choir to turn me on
Before I start to like it here

I just need a tide?s turning grace?

This isn?t a final moment, no
It?s just an ordinary day
It isn?t a guarded border, no
Just a slowly rusting gate

Hallelujah?
