Washington - Sarah Harmer

I didn't go to Washington

Instead I swept the floor

The only things I've ever done

You can't see anymore

I knew there would be magic

But I turned at the last chance

These idle hands are staying scared of

Making any plans

'Cause the fire needed tending

And the windows are so wide

Sometimes I feel I'm in the world

When I'm looking from inside

I will pack down the snow

Make a path to the road

And I'll think of the long ride

I hope you don't need snow tires

Through the Pennsylvania night

I didn't go I said no

I said no when you asked

The only things I'm feeling are

The empty minutes pass

The sun came up

And moved around

It's down behind a cloud

I didn't go to Washington

And you'll be almost there by now

Almost there by now
