Crossing Over

I wrote this arrangement of this song by bay area band Sour Widows for the March 2023 concerts of the Free Key Choir.

The original song can be heard here.

Lyrics:

We caught the storm pulling in
From Ohio to Wisconsin
Let the guitars wail
And the flood take the basement
Screamed to sing above it

I’ve been seeing that look in your eyes
When I close mine
It’s the weight of love
Everything under the sun that could take me from it

Rain fills the drive
And the radiator crying
I just lay still
Something in me crossing over in me
Something in me crossing over in me

Out west where I’m from
Water never falls this way
Running clean through
Every wound, every vein
If I changed you
Then I’m changed, I can feel it too
Some things stay with you for a while

Rain fills the drive
And the radiator crying
I feel this life
Splitting in me over and over in me
Splitting in me over and over in me

But I want you

I wish I could become
The only one that you loved
It wouldn’t be enough
It wouldn’t be enough
