Overcome - Will Sexton, Amy LaVere

Empty dishes still sitting where I’m gonna leave it

This lamp hasn’t been lit in quite a long while

The wick doesn’t reach what’s left of the wax

And the rain is coming and I’m overcome

These bad newspapers, they pile up on me

Dogs gaze out the window, I know how they feel

Adventure, adventure or sit by the door?

Open open, sesame, I’m overcome

Figurines, dripping faucets, laundry and dust

I hate to leave this a mess but I must

Small little suitcase, smaller little belt

Small walking shoes and a whole life to prove

Keepsakes can be anchors and anvils and such

Like pianos and pets and the people we love

Can’t change the world from this chair on my space

Spiders tag walls with their names in this place

Figurines, dripping faucets, laundry and dust

I hate to leave this a mess but I must

Small little suitcase, smaller little belt

Small walking shoes and a whole life to prove

Oh, it’s never a clean break when you’re trying to leave

But songbirds need homes in live oak trees
