Lyrics

Sleeping tight Contented sugarplums danced Not a care in the world The contract shone with permanence The moment had arrived Somehow I had survived the questions A new road was opening It was my chance to sing at long last The academic blockade was melting When along came a quiet truth with fire for my bed: 911 Sirens awoke my neighbors EMT's confused, asked me where I was bleeding But it was so dark Waking up in the middle of a freezing night I wondered if I'd ever see the sun again Wind whistling warnings on my frosty window Summer where'd you go? I dig for answers under snow The moment had arrived Somehow I had survived the answers A new road is opening What will tomorrow bring? You never know Finally, the sun came through my window I got up slow and plugged in my guitar
