Only Just Begun Lyrics & Chords By Meg Hutchinson

In the harsh light of all that's failed, of all that sad dreaming, that's where I begin
The bell of the ice in the tall of my drink,
Sea tamed by nightfall, heaves in against my shore
Fire of the day, tucked back inside the sky
Tucked back inside, tuck me back inside your
Fire of the day, tucked back inside the sky, tucked back inside,
Tuck me back inside your …
Small conference of snails at the bottom of my stairs
Lean low and close I've never seen one in its home before
Today I picked a buoy and swam out in the harbor
At the mercy of the current, and I thought of you there
Not because it took me, and I couldn't fight it
More than that your body next to me

After all of these years of empty shells of empty houses
I wanna climb inside one now
After all of these years of settling for less
Of calling something love every time I felt a pain inside my chest
Later on the balcony I heard voices of children
Running through the dune grass and I thought of you again
Later on the balcony I heard voices of children
Running through the dune grass and I thought of them again

My loves are many, my needs are few
Billions of light years it's taken me to get here
Driven as the bee to the lips of the flower
Driven as the mouth of the ant to the boulder of sand
After eons of craving designed for survival
Unclamp the teeth of my heart
Eons of craving designed for survival
Unclamp the teeth of my heart

After all of these years …

My best work has only just begun
Our best work has only just begun
