Lara Herscovitch: listen

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)
• MP3 short clip, lo-fi play (modem)

Stillness in snowglobes will erupt
Waiting for us to shake things up

Seeking her smile, misplaced way back when
This is now, “once upon a time” was then
Blows her cares into balloons that float away
Says if they really need her they’ll come back someday

(chorus)
She sits by the door waits for love to arrive
Maybe it will bring a bigger suitcase this time
Waits there all day, through the long solstice night
She’ll get another year to try to get it right

The rain has returned for the moment at least
Some days he has famine, some days feast
He’s tasted a dream, one glance was all it took
But most of the time he’s too scared to look

(chorus)
He sits by the door, waits for faith to arrive
Maybe it will bring a bigger suitcase this time
Waits there all day, through the long solstice night
He’ll get another year to try to get it right

You try to convince us, the sinners, the doubters
When we don’t agree you say it louder
In your gods and bullets you believe
As you play hide and do not seek

(chorus)
We sit by the door wait for peace to arrive
Maybe it will bring a bigger suitcase this time
We’ll wait there all day, through the long solstice night
We’ll get another year to try to get it right

Stillness in snowglobes will erupt
Waiting for us to shake things up
