Paloma Lyrics by Carbon Leaf

Indian Summer

2004

[Verse]
Chase the high ground
Where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
Face all aglow, to leave from here
To pack up and go

[Pre-Chorus]
But it takes some time to get away
You will have to build from what remains
To run it takes the courage of a lamb
To love, the fierceness of a storm

[Chorus]
Paloma, you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
And everyone's staring, but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap, and you're free

[Verse]
Chase the higher ground
Where you'd rather be
Where you might be found
This move may erase the troubles in your head
Or expose the absence of your soul

[Pre-Chorus]
And so, it takes some time to get away
And you will have to tear down what remains
And I can't stand by for goodbyes
So hold on to me, or lead the way

[Chorus]
Paloma, you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
And everyone's staring but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap, and you're free

[Verse]
Pace yourself when outrunning fear
Take cover when it's dark
And keep an even keel
In your would you're only a phone away
But in my world you're too far to feel

[Pre-Chorus]
And it may take some time to learn what's real
And you may have to beg and borrow
And you will surely steal
Remember all those lonely sessions
Turned into yesterday's lessons
To never forget love
To never forget love

[Chorus]
Paloma, you wonder if you'll miss the thunder
And everyone's staring but no one is caring for you now
Just spread your wings, latch on to the breeze
Just take the leap, and you're free

Paloma, you cry out you beg for connection
The dreams you seek are straight ahead in every direction
Now you're free
Now that you're free
Now that you're free
You're free

[Outro]
Today I watched the greatest thing of all
A flock of birds, preparing for the fall
