Music and lyrics by Rachel Bard

Boss Lelanapaparn, Mastering Engineer 



“It’s been a while 
How have you been?” 
How do I answer politely when I’m out of words? 
I’m asking myself  

Heard you moved out
Left, undeclared 
So well-intentioned, you’re going somewhere 
I bought a collection of short stories 
to keep my mind off the news 

I’m tired of the news 

It’s been a while 
Seasons and scenes 
Past meditations are not to be seen
I looked for too long I got dust in my eyes 
on my skin
 
Expectations, frustration 
Anticipation, discontent 
What a time, what a state 

Forgot it was a long weekend 
I tried to make plans 
I tried and I failed, I tried and I failed 
But I showed up anyway 
I showed up anyway 

It’s been a while 
I’ve been around 
Right by the bridge, can be easily found 
I’m trying to make something happen

Sunsets got me thinking
Every day comes to an end
'Who are you?' the caterpillar asked

Spring has made an offer
I did not expect
I am used to ever second guess

I know nothing, I know nothing, no
I am pacing, just to stay afloat
afloat

I can't handle it all, can't handle it well
Chapters set in stone, they're miles away
and I'm not there

It escaped my notice
Strange, how could it be?
I stare at the pavement seven days a week

Spring turned the alarms on
Shifted all the clocks
Circled back and forth through midnight walks

I know nothing, I know nothing, no
I am pacing, bound to stay afloat
Afloat

And I can't handle it all, can't handle it well
Chapters set in stone, they're miles away
and I'm not there

Oh spring
What can you bring?
Oh spring
Would you change a thing?

And I can't handle it all, can't handle it well
Chapters set in stone, they're miles away
And I

Patience is the way of the nobleman 
Grace is all I know 
Makeshift ideologies 
are clustering the door 

And I am passing by 
I’m walking through 
and standing by the corner 

Hands are tied to the windmill 
and I can’t lose control 
I’m afraid of the damage, afraid of the fall 
All I got is this basic pattern 
That’s all I got, I try to keep it together 

Nights are lack of clarity 
Pace, I keep it slow 
Rented dreams and discoveries 
are laid out on the floor 

And I am passing time 
I’m getting through 
Replaying older records 

Hands are tied to the windmill 
and I can’t lose control 
I am dreading the damage, afraid of the fall
All I got is this basic pattern 
That’s all I got, I try to keep it together 

I try to keep it together
I try to keep it together
I try to keep it together

Hands are tied to the windmill 
and I can’t lose control 
I am dreading the damage, afraid of the fall

All I got is this basic pattern 
That’s all I got, I try to keep it together

Manhattan, 
I consider you my old friend 
I’ll hold on to you until the end 

I don’t know if you can speak my language
I don’t think that anybody can 
But I think sometimes you do, Manhattan 

I’d say I know you pretty well
I wonder if you know my name 

I keep on passing moving trains 
I keep on asking too many questions
What’s the point of this narrative? 
I’ll come back for the negatives 

Manhattan, 
I wish I could be as effortless as you
as classy as a fool can be

I don’t know if one could ever make it 
I don’t know where this is going next 
I wish I could get some rest, Manhattan

I look for clues across your streets
I hold on to your transient thrills 

I keep on passing moving trains 
I keep on asking too many questions
What’s the point of this narrative? 
I’ll come back for the negatives 

I hold on to your brightest moments 
But it’s getting cold 

I’ll keep on passing moving trains 
I’ll keep on asking too many questions
What’s the point of this narrative? 
Will I come back if I ever leave? 

I’ll keep on passing moving trains 
I’ll keep on asking too many questions
What’s the point of this narrative? 
Will I come back if I ever leave?

This is so friggin cool yo!! Love it Rachael. You’re so incredibly talented and gifted. A true artist 🎉♥️👏🏽

Like the song very much, like the video, great ❤

I got to perform at the lovely Duane Park in Tribeca and tested a couple of covers, which I usually don't perform. Some lyrics were mistaken or mumbly due to the Tribeca air and stress, but I hope you enjoy these as much as I did performing them.

You have your dinners in the car
And every night you cast a spell
I haven’t seen you in a while 
I didn’t know you very well
Apparently 

You keep your secrets in a glass 
You hide your riddles in a well 
You never read between the lines 
I almost thought you weren’t there 

It’s the sound that you make when you made a mistake 
It’s the sound that you make when you made a mistake 

You make your way out through the park
I watched you pass the garden gate
I haven’t been here in a while 
I had so many things to say 

You keep on waiting for a sign 
You bet your money on the birds 
I wish you’d read between the lines 
I almost thought you weren’t there 

You haven’t seen me yet 
You haven’t seen me yet 
Oh

Thought I could read between the lines 
But I had missed the disclaimer 
In all sincerely I tried 
Maybe I should have known you better
