SOMETIMES A THE YEAR

Sometimes a year my heart is restless
And I want to go
But I manage to stay
Sometimes during the year
Sometimes a year you won’t insist
That I should stay
I just stay and stay, anyway
Sometimes during the year

You don’t give me reason to keep
My restless heart from wanting to go
I remember it is just this way
So I just slow it down
And stay around
Where would I go to search for peace?
How would I measure the distant space?
Without your face where would I go?
Sometimes during the year

Sometimes a year my heart is restless
and wants to go
But I love you so
So I just slow it down
And stay around
Calming my restless heart
Sometimes a year
