D.K. Lyons - Bye Bye Lorraine

I'm giving up on giving in
To the tides I feel within
Out in the world just getting by
Wondering how to savor time

Harboring the emptiness
Is like trying to hold your breath
At some point the pressure floods
And in a deluge you're overcome

In my messiness I somehow found
Some levity in breathing out

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine

Out the door, heat like a wave
81 and it's only May
It's so simple to just assume
In the inevitable doom

Strangers pass without a glance
We've got no time to believe in chance
Where every step is so cynical
And each turn seems out of control

But then a song comes on that makes me smile
And I'm imagining a roaring crowd

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine

Reach the edge of the city street
The river lives in front of me
Looking back on the path I took
It's so easy to overlook

Family, friends, spiritual wealth
And the bravery to just be yourself

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh bye bye lorraine
