lyrics

It’s five o’clock on a Sunday
You’re with your man and a bottle of wine
I am all alone with the TV on again
Another year you’ll be married
A couple more and you’ll carry his child
I still carry a smile every time you cross my mind

But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy callin’ all your shots and never making one

There’s map of the seacoast
With a harbor that bears your name
Hung above the guest bed in a room at my mama’s house
And I think of us when I sleep there
And I dream of you every Halloween night
You were always a cat, I was sure it was love at first sign

But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy callin’ all your shots and never making one

And now she’s moving to Nashville
I told her, “It never snows, it just rains.”
She said, “It ain’t ‘bout the weather I just can’t stay in one place.”

The carousel is still empty
And I can still smell the salt in your hair
Dream about those lips like honey and your smile like the Cape Cod sun

But it ain’t easy
It ain’t easy missin’ you

Kevin is the best songwriter I know and my biggest inspiration. He imbues every second of his songs with his entire heart. Without Kevin, I'd have stopped writing songs and playing music years ago. The California Flowers
