This song was written as I was coming out of a long period of grief and darkness following the breakup of a major relationship in my life. It was written from a place of resolve and forgiveness that had taken me years to arrive at and fully feel. A bit of the regret that I had felt so strongly is definitely weaved in there is well.

Lyrics:
Paint a dream yellow, gold and green
Live inside a work of art
Write a song of loving someone long
And spill the wine
right from your heart
You can live a lot of little lies
They bend your twisted
mind around you
And turn your back
on all the little signs
of a vision going blind
Save away
You can never have
enough for a rainy day
Save away
Standing naked staring into space
I almost flew off the Golden Gate
Feel the water
looking at your daughter
Touch the light upon her face
Hope that one day
she’ll know why you went away
Forgive yourself your fall from grace
You can see a lot of little lines
grow around your eyes without you
Make a place for all the little times
you might have done it right
Save away
You can never have enough for a rainy day
Save away
Standing naked staring into space
Empty, hollow
I gave it all away
I almost flew off the Golden Gate
Standing naked staring into space
Forgive yourself
You had a fall from grace
Watch the lines growing on your face
Save them up, save a space
Cut the flowers, drop them in a vase
Watch your daughter run another race
Love will go, gone without a trace
Save it up, save a space
Save away
You can never have enough for a rainy day
Save away
You never know when
you need it for a rainy day
Save away
Save away
