​stonington

[Verse 1]
Getting stoned again
Dreaming about Stonington
Little town by the sea
When the days get on
And I can't seem to carry long
I hear its salty song call out to me

[Pre-Chorus]
There is music in the boatyard by the dock
And there are rose hips
If you wait long enough
Walls of pine lining every block
A horizon co-signed by God

[Chorus]
I was lonely when I was young
Spent the summers all alone
Didn't know how to play the part
A winter baby, a hermit's heart

[Verse 2]
On the road again
Heading back to Stonington
Little town, it has my heart
Just packed up the car, close up the house
And headed north
Following the distant star

[Pre-Chorus]
Love you more with every mile that we drive
Getting closer to the end of the line
And if you ask me, I think you'll find
I'm looking forward to the summer time

[Chorus]
I was lonely, I was a girl
Spent the summers in my own world
Didn't know how to play the part
A winter baby, a hermit's heart

[Bridge]
Juniper and Cedarwood
One day, we'll leave this town for good
And build our castle on the hill
And we'll stay there
Swaying in the mountain air
'Till our hearts are finally still

[Chorus]
No one's lonely in the trees
When you hold me, I can see
Life unfolding beautifully
In our castle by the sea
