Layovers Lyrics by Mercy Union

The Quarry

2018

If I ever moved to London
Would you come over to visit?
Or the plane over in Newark
Stuck in traffic on the Smithshead
Listen to the pilot tell you
"Keep your seatbelts securely fastened"
As the clouds come out, the night rolls in
As you wonder how this happened
Order up your Whiskey Ginger
Just to calm your nerves
While you spin the ring around your finger
Remember every word
Well it's hard to notice
The time when it's gone
Just like a lotus
Ain't no dirt in the dawn
And I've run out of ways to tell you, I'm barely holding on
If I ever moved to Nashville
Would you come on down and visit?
Gas your car up at the QuickChek
Fly the turnpike, grab a ticket
Mimic all your favourite singers
Would you scream out every word?
While you check the mirrors without a turn
Just to make sure no-one heard
Pull on over in Virginia
Just to stretch your bones
While you spin the ring around your finger
Wondering how you're not alone
Well it's hard to notice
The time when it's gone
Just like a lotus
Ain't no dirt in the dawn
And it's hard to focus
Where time can stand still
Just like the locust
All in a field
And I've run out of ways to tell you, I'm barely holding on
And I've run out of ways to show you, forever ain't that long
And I've run out of ways to tell you, I'm barely holding on
And I've run out of ways to show you, forever ain't that long
And I've run out of ways to tell you, I'm barely holding on
And I've run out of ways to show you, we're never going home
