lyrics

Maybe You’d Hear Me Then
 
burying your head into the daily news
staring at the frost on the windowpane
pour another cup of coffee and read about yesterday
 
you’re working some nine-to-five
making plans for some better life
the southwest sky and other dreams
you’ll never find
 
so we’re crawling at the feet of an indifferent god
one step ahead of the welfare line
could you tell me what we’re doing here
other than killing time
 
you drive the long way home
as if you’ve got nowhere to go
and i pretend to be asleep
when you walk in the door
 
should i just hold it in
stick my finger in the dam
or wave my arms and scream as loud as i can
maybe you’d hear me then
would you hear me then
 
i’ve been sitting in your chair since you left again
washed in the glow of the tv set
i’m ready to give up the fight
but it’s not over yet
 
is this the real world
or is it all just in my head
maybe i’ll set the house on fire
before i go to bed
 
maybe you’d hear me then
out on the lawn when you drive in
wave my arms and scream
as loud as i can
 
maybe you’d hear me then
would you hear me then

As Parklife Mag DC put it, “the voice of country music in the DMV is a big, bright voice that belongs to Virginia native Karen Jonas.” ... more
