Dar Williams Arrival Lyrics

INTRO: C/G Cmaj9 Am Dm C/G G C/G Cmaj9 Am F C/G G N.C.
My dad is a miracle and so's my mom
They fly over the blue
They finish their dinner and then they take one another's hands
And off they go to find a broader point of view
For it's a give and take beyond the ordinary
What with all the cats and kids that they've loved
And they, ooh, will not be alone
Well, my friends give me purple flowers and orange tea
On goose-down spilling quilts and turquoise chairs
We greet each other in a wild profusion of words
Wave farewell amidst the wonderment of air
In the laughing times we know that we are lucky
And in the quiet times we know that we are blessed
And we, ooh, will not be alone
Well, the light that stopped the night felt like forgiveness to you
But as the garbage trucks came bustling through their rounds
You stared at the pictures on your walls and all the postcards from your friends
As you heard the birds and old familiar sounds
That's when you knew this world can't be saved, only discovered
And you knew things could be different than before
And now you, ooh, will not be alone anymore______
