Cypress Inn - Michelle Malone

The TV s on but the sound is down

Well, It s a summer water color world here now

Bella, she s down in the lobby playing tug of war with her daddy

You should see them smile For the homesick traveler

I don t unpack my suit case, it s barely big enough to hold what I cannot say

Pandora s box would open up and swallow me whole today

C G D C G CH: At the Cypress Inn trying to pretend that everything s alright

see my armor shine C G Em You hate to be alone, keep wishing I was home again D

C G I m just picking up the pieces at the Cypress Inn Rosie came by late last

night

To sing a SONG and drink away these vagabond days

Damned if you do and if you don t play the game, but this city is a beautiful

place to sing some songs under the stars.

But me, I m split in between the two — a longing to succeed and a simple life

with you

Am B7 Em D If it wasn t for my wanderlust we could start a family CH

D C G BRIDGE: I m in the middle of a fight between the darkness and a distant

light

Am B7 Em D I get so weary in the shadows and I plead, my god, show me a sign CH
