From the recording Hanging With Kids

Lyrics

Verse 1
Lizzie wakes before the sunrise, coffee in her hand
Dances through the kitchen like the queen of Neverland
Maps a thousand daydreams on a napkin by the sink
0:22
Turns the quiet morning into something bright and pink
Pre-Chorus
Oh, she keeps a lighthouse in her pocket
For the storms she’s learned to ride
And every time the thunder talks
She answers back with light
Chorus
Lizzie, oh Lizzie, you’re a wildfire in bloom
A melody that’s humming in a midnight living room
Lizzie, sweet Lizzie, when the night feels too long
You stitch the stars together and you call it a song
Verse 2
Lizzie knows the sidewalks like a paperback she’s read
Skips across the chapters, underlines in cherry red
Laughs with all the lampposts, waves to passing trains
Collects a dozen sunsets in the folds of her refrain
Pre-Chorus
Oh, she keeps a compass made of kindness
Points it at the truth
And every door that ever closed
She painted into blue
Chorus
Lizzie, oh Lizzie, you’re a wildfire in bloom
A melody that’s humming in a midnight living room
Lizzie, sweet Lizzie, when the night feels too long
You stitch the stars together and you call it a song
Bridge
She’s the echo in the canyon, she’s the answer and the dare
She’s the note you didn’t know you needed hanging in the air
If sorrow is a river, she will build a golden span
Walk you over water with the gentlest of hands
Breakdown
La-da-da, Lizzie, light the windows of the town
La-da-da, Lizzie, turn the quiet up to loud
La-da-da, Lizzie, keep the lantern by the sea
So anyone who’s drifting knows where home will be
Chorus
Lizzie, oh Lizzie, you’re a wildfire in bloom
A melody that’s humming in a midnight living room
Lizzie, sweet Lizzie, when the road winds on and on
You stitch the stars together and you call it a songSo here’s to all your Tuesdays, and the rain you grow things from
To every soft beginning, to the beating of your drum
Lizzie, darling Lizzie, when the daylight’s almost gone
You teach the dark to listen—till the morning hums along
