Decade and One Lyrics by Vienna Teng

Decade and One Lyrics

    once when I was thirty-one
    I woke in the dead of night
    and heard the vastness of the snowfall outside
    slipped downstairs in my bare feet
    soon forgotten freezing
    and pour a milk glass full
    to wait out the tide

    been a decade and one
    been a decade and one my friends
    a decade and one
    since I

    as the white went down
    I thought of the child upstairs
    I thought of the God upstairs
    that I couldn't believe
    I thought of the chosen man
    asleep on his side of the bed
    how green becomes wood
    in a family tree

    been a decade and one
    been a decade and one so soon
    a decade and one
    since I stood
    so proud
    and so unsure

    ebony glowing by the window there
    as always
    fingers kissed the keys oh so tenderly
    cool ivory returned in kind
    I thought of anger and adulation
    and the taste of dreams realized
    and the waste dreams realized leave behind

    a decade and one
    a decade and one
    I said out loud
    a decade and one
    and I am here
    and I am here still standing
