Caroline Kay Overnight
[Verse 1]
If you told me back then it would take me this long to get somewhere
I probably wouldn't have tried
If you told me how much I'd be hurt on the way
I probably wouldn't have tried
But the thing is I didn't know what I didn't know
And I suppose it helped
Not to know what I couldn't have known but know now
[Chorus]
And slowly but surely I see the turn of the tide
I can feel it in my bones
Every stone that I've thrown made a ripple and it all came to light
Overnight
Overnight
Oh, it takes so long but it happens overnight
[Verse 2]
And we're far from the place where we laugh in the face of struggle
And maybe we'll never arrive
But before we need more we're ashore on this island
And I found the reason I think I'm alive
And it's true that all that I know came from having to grow
And hindsight makes it sweet
When the bitter taste lasted so long but gave me a song to sing
[Chorus]
And slowly but surely I see the turn of the tide
I can feel it in my bones
Every stone that I've thrown made a ripple and it all came to light
Overnight
Overnight
[Bridge]
She built a boat
To travel the seas
And now as I reach for the anchor
I'll nod and I'll thank her and hope for a friendly reprise
And I won't be scared
‘Cause I realize
That all of your dreams, as wild as it seems, can materialize
[Outro]
Overnight
Overnight
It takes so long, but it happens overnight
