St. Rosa and the Swallows - The Thermals, Lorin Coleman, Hutch Harris

Passing the corners we’ve kissed in the rain

Passing these old rusted warning signs

What did they say?

I think they said «Run!»

Passing the roofs of excuses we’ve made

Passing these open windows

What made me turn away?

How did I fight the black days and the static nights?

St. Rosa, she flies, she flies with the swallows

St. Rosa, I feel I could follow back to Capistrano

And I will hold you tight

Through the cold days and the frozen nights

Passing our enemies

Passing our friends

Passing the means we used to tell the difference between

It’s subtle

I try to remember if I was ever lonely

If I was ever low

Hell, hell yes, I was low

How did I fight the black days and the static nights?

St. Rosa, she flies, she flies with the swallows

St. Rosa, I feel I could follow back to Capistrano

And I will hold you tight

Through the cold days and the frozen nights

Passing all the days I switched to Auto-mode

Days for which I’ve nothing to show

Pausing all the days I’m afraid I’ll forget

The day’s only clear for a second

The day’s only clear for a second

Day’s only clear for a second

But I will hold you tight

Through the cold days and the frozen nights

Yeah, but it’s cold, cold, cold
