Something To Me (Album Version) - Tift Merritt

The song I love the best's the one my father taught to me

The kindness of a stranger is dust from an unseen wing

But an old friend at my table is by far the finest thing

This tired mile could give to me

The colors of the man I love are deepest blue and green

And it isn't very often that I say just what I mean

Cause the feeling seems to scatter and these words fall in between

For what I miss I'll just tell you this

It's something to me

It's something to me

I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see

But you take tomorrow so long as you know

It's something to me

It's something to me

Gentle is the road within me and it's gently I depart

Cause these well-worn threads of daylight will sometimes come apart

Giving way to all the shadows where no one can hear your heart

So down in the dark if that's where you are

It's something to me

It's something to me

I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see

But you take tomorrow so long as you know

It's something to me

It's something to me

Now the tender hands of morning have given up a new sunrise

And we all get up together in our ordinary lives

Going one step for another giving up has crossed my mind

But I'll take a long day come round the right way

It's something to me

It's something to me

I don't know what it comes to and it's not so much to see

But you take tomorrow so long as you know

It's something to me

It's something to me

But you take tomorrow so long as you know

It's something to me

It's something to me
