lyrics

CHASED BY THE SUN

standing there at the water's edge
the sun is halfway up and
the heat fills your head

i know you want to jump right in
but you know that when you do
that summer day will begin

a landing bird meets its shadow on the ground
some will say it's lost
others think it's found

but the little bird knows
someday its wings will fold
somehow it keeps on singing
never misses a note

and there you are
reachin' out
the mirror in the water draws you near

your fingers reach the fingers
your wrists slide up the arms
and sealing off at the toes

you're in
and you can't shed that skin

you're in
and you'll never be free of yourself again

you'll recognize this song
cuz you've been here all along
now you're also that bird lookin' down from above

and the days'll go by fast
though you try and make 'em stay
and there's no right or wrong in it either way

and there you are
reachin' out
the mirror in the water draws you near

well you can run
chase the sun
but the sun is also chasin' everyone

Tate was voted Best Singer-Songwriter in the 2016 + 2017 Westword Music Awards and recently made her debut at Red Rocks. ... more
