Longshot Lyrics by Danny Newcomb

Mackerel Sky

2020

Tonight the rain comes on a southern wind
Pushing trees like sails across a drunken sky
And there's no place you can think that you'd rather be tonight
Being alone is still being alive

We can all dream like raindrops in the sea
Where we rest is where we belong

`Cause we're all just a long shot
We're a long shot
I guess that's what you call living all alone

You used to live over in town above the art the trains would switch their tracks
With a lonely call like an animal they'd roll out trying just to find a way back home
And I can still dream
That I'm alove at night
There's some mercy out in the dark

`Cause we're all just a long shot
We're a long shot
I guess that's what you call living
When you're all alone

Dance like Cinderella tonight
Kick your heels out into the light of the room
Cause the best we've got is your spark

`Cause we're all just a long shot
We're a long shot
We're a long shot
I guess that's what you call living
When you're all alone
