This chord progression is something Shannon's had lying around for a few months. She's not very good at writing lyrics, so finally Keith helped her out and they came up with this.

about

As John Walter Canary is lost at sea, his wife and children begin to worry about him.

lyrics

Vines are climbing 'cross the shingles to snare the children if they fall
She's sitting inside sipping tea, outside Timmy drops his ball
Mama watches out the window, sees the ball drop from the Western sky
Lips to her mug, wonders when he's comin'
Searchin' for answers in the tea

Takin' breaths deep and slow as the kids rush inside
Mama, where is Papa?
Hush now, babies, don't you cry

Mama watches out the window, sees the stars rise in the moon lit sky
She starts to simmer water, she is her mother's daughter
Searchin' for answers in the tea
