One Can Only Hope

by Cam Earnshaw

/

lyrics

The clock above my fireplace
Watches with a poker face
As the evening crawls across my floor
Duct tape’s peelin’ of my window screens
And I’m washin’ down some pinto beans
With a tall boy can of lukewarm Coors

Yet somewhere in a scene that seems so negative
There’s a light that shows where morning lives

Well, I know as I search the sky
As the nights keep flowing by
That’s just heaven showing why
We need more than ourselves to cope
So when darkness is around me
And it feels like doubt has found me
Heaven knows that one can only hope

My Laundromat's the kitchen sink
Satellite is on the blink
And now fact’ries crowd the scenery
I ain’t had a decent raise in years
And I feel like I’m a rusty gear
In some company’s machinery

Yet when I’m sad and I don’t seem myself
There’s a pathway to redeem myself

Well, I know as I search the sky
As the nights keep flowing by
That’s heaven showing why
We need more than ourselves to cope
So when darkness is around me
And it feels like doubt has found me
Heaven knows that one can only hope

When the house is still and you can’t face the night
Look within and let your heart embrace the light

Well, I know as I search the sky
Cos the time keeps flowing by
That’s just heaven showing why
We need more than ourselves to cope
So when darkness is around me
And it feels like doubt has found me
Heaven knows that one can only hope

I'm a songwriter from Arizona. Most of the songs here are "work tapes" of my songs... homemade proof of concept tapes if you will, recorded prior to making professional demos. There are also a few pro demos here that were recorded by my friends at The 515 studio in Nashville, TN. ... more
