Vienna Teng - Kansas lyrics

rate me

<BR>

Sun sets in an ocean of brown farmland haze<br>

Power lines draped across roads you could drive on for days<br>

Well it's all too perfect<br>

Time to look back at us now<br>

<br>

Endless and empty like Kansas<br>

Our cities of clouds<br>

Flat on the table like Kansas<br>

<br>

I lay down in sheets suddenly worn threadbare<br>

Every wall I lean on transforms to sliding doors and thin air<br>

Well I hope yours is kinder<br>

Let go of this when you find her<br>

<br>

Bury this hard<br>

Down underneath your white canvas<br>

Our houses of cards<br>

Flat on the table like Kansas<br>

<br>

It's not regret<br>

Just an unexpected accounting of debts<br>

Only now called<br>

No it's not regret<br>

Just remembrance is all<br>

Of how close we had come<br>

The war almost won<br>

But I sent up our flag and moved on<br>

<br>

You and I<br>

Lost to the winter like Kansas<br>

And all my goodbyes<br>

Flat on the table like Kansas<br>

<BR><BR>
