Alli Rogers - I Caught Sight lyrics

rate me

Our feet were marching to a perfect tune

We wandered in upon a room

The middle of the afternoon

We were surrounded by acacia trees

The water flowing past our knees

I love to come to days like these

Just yesterday I felt like you had left us here

I could not conjure up the sense that you were near

I know why I'm feeling

Suddenly full of light and I'm still reeling

I couldn't have guessed that I'd catch sight of you

I caught sight of you

Once I was riding on a sleeper train

Reading from a magazine, I was only seventeen

In walked a mother holding the hand of her little son

He was having so much fun, smiling up at everyone

I had been thinking life was not as good as I expected

But I was taken back by how much joy his eyes reflected

When joy is tired and jaded

When hope is mild and faded

In the water rushing over my feet

And in the eyes of a child reminding me
