Kalliope Jones Lyrics

You walk in the cold

Your shoes are muddy but you aren't bold

You always flee from the fight 

And when it's quiet you're convinced it's not alright

​

You'll find your gold and stories untold

We'll watch the flowers flying out of the sea

And wonder what the heck you're going to be 

​

Why did you have to leave me here

When all the leaves were streaming like tears

I'd sail the ocean 'cause you asked that of me

But when the salt boils down, I have to cut my boat free

​

The secret stars seem to say

Oh why can't you stay with me

Don't get me wrong I'd hate to be alone but

When the grass calls my name

I know it's time to go home

​

You know I'm sharp as a tack

And once I'm rolling there's no going back

You try to follow me into the sky but

As far as I know I'm the only one who can fly 

​

I let the waves wash my feet

And all I've learned is that life's not spice and sweet

There's too much salt and too much dirty air but

I know as long as it takes, I'm gonna get there
