Written by Jenifer Freebairn

lyrics

As the wind bows the magnolias down to the ground
And away from the moon
I sit by my window wondering
How much further your love for me can bend
Or will it finally break apart

And I thought it was only me
So full of questions
Til I noticed all my friends right beside me
In the dark

Some days weigh like leaves on water
Some days you fly right on down the track
Some days weigh like leaves on water
Some like bricks on a baby’s back

As I sit inside this box of skin and thoughts
Unadorned, unwrapped, unlined
I’m trying to find the fine line
Between venturing where I must
And treating you unkind

Just how much of what we touch
Can do somebody harm?

Some days weigh like leaves on water
Some days you fly right on down the track
Some days weigh like leaves on water
Some like bricks on a baby’s back

Now I look to the future
Like a child to Christmas day
Like a pregnant woman to her womb
Like a worker to a quitting time bell
Glad that nothing lasts forever

You ride these moments
Hang on for dear life
Bring someone along if you dare

Some days weigh like leaves on water
Some days you fly right on down the track
Some days weigh like leaves on water
Some like bricks on a baby’s back

I am an L.A. songwriter now roaming the wide open spaces of the Sonoma Coast.

Music is magic you make out of thin air; out of every moment up until now, out of desire, misheard words, triumphs and missteps. Music is my ride and I hope you enjoy these songs I've written along the way. ... more
