lyrics

Alabaster Sky
by Derek Nicoletto

VERSE ONE

Tell me a story,
this winter morning needs some sunlight
Tell me a story
one where the hero hasn’t wasted
all his life.
Feather pillow, comfort me.
Don’t leave out
Don’t leave out the part where he…
(la la la la la la)

VERSE TWO

Tell me a story
One where you never need your lifeline
New England waves,
Sandy granddaughters
Fill your life.

Your distractions crackling
in the fire.
Don’t leave out the part where we
La la la Love.

CHORUS

Ready to go
Ready to drive
Ready to dream about
Anywhere else but now

Shovel the truth
off to the side
Clear me a path for imaginary life

Through an
alabaster sky
Words will wing us high,

Flurry and flood
All of the blood into the white.

VERSE THREE

Tell me a story
One where I never need a bloodline -
Where less than a thousand milligrams
could keep me
me alive
You’ll be there to comfort me

Don’t leave now,
Not before the part where we

La La La La Love

CHORUS TWO

Ready to go
Ready to drive
Ready to dream about
Anywhere else but now

Shovel the truth off to the side
Clear me a path for
imaginary life

Pause to magnify
every snowy lie

Flurry and flood
all of the blood into the white.
