Song For Catherine Lyrics

The strip mall takes the land and leaves it bare
And all of the trees that were there
Get shipped off to factories where
They're turned into paper or chairs

I sit here at my wooden desk
Making up nonsentences
Trying to do some justice
To the trees that have died in the path of my pen

But love songs aren't easy to write
This one kept me up all night
So did you so I guess it's alright
At least it seems fitting

I've been wishing on every star that I've seen since
the day that we met
Maybe somewhere down the road
We can be three things: happy, together and old

I know that our chance are slim
Hearts are so easily broken
And it might be one in a million
But so are you

So I think that we should
Add up all of our failures
See if it's an even number If it is, then let's just consider all those as
practice
And make this the first

The seconds turn into hours
The hours will turn into years
And my heart just beats louder and louder
Each time that you kiss me

I've been wishing on every star that I've seen since
the day that we met
Maybe somewhere down the road
We can be three things: happy, together and old

The water below us was dark / at the foot of the rock
quarry wall
We were surrounded by stars / as we watched for the
next one to fall
Then with a smile on your face / you caught me
completely off guard
I felt my heart skip a beat / I was scared it might not
beat at all
But as it turns out it was just switching from a march
to a waltz
