East Point Songtext
von GEST

Now I know what my hearts thinking and
Where my head wants to be
They′re in the same space now so
They just got to speak
You can't know how this life is swinging
And luck it may come steep
But I′ll stiffen up, keep staying proud
And have faith to take this leap

Oh-mmm

I cut the tension a couple times
Rocked the boat more than once
Been backed into a corner like a dog
And bitten instead of run
Had my fair share of baptisms
Against a flame far too strong
Singing through the night till dawn
A sweet familiar song

(Familiar)


Are you going out in a blaze of glory or
Slowly fading away?
Will you write your own story or
Fight another day?
I'm proud of what I've survived and
All that I hold
But I′m still learning to trust just
When to let go
When to let go
Just when to let go

Now lately they′ve talked about
The flood of 54'
The Depression a memory, full of hope
Building back from The War
Gran was about to burst with Dad she got rescued by a boat
The Royals passed through town the day before
Replaced by torrents as she woke

Oh

Now it′s back with a bitter vengeance
Not the first in the years gone by
Again mothers throw ruined photographs
As they try not to cry
The smell everywhere like the trauma
What do you do when your life is gone?
But time and time the people of Lismore show
That you got to carry on


And if they can do it well so can I
Hell and back they stay strong
Singing through the night till dawn
A sweet familiar song

Are you going out in a blaze of glory or
Slowly fading away?
Will you write your own story or
Fight another day?
I'm proud of what they′ve survived and
All that they hold
And from no fault of their own
They're forced to let go
Forced to let go
They′re forced to let go

(Blaze of glory)
(Fade away)
(Your own story)
(Another day)

(Blaze of glory)
(Fade away)
(Your own story)
(Another day)

(Letting go)
(Letting go)
(Letting go)
