Washington Lyrics - Oh Little Fire - Sarah Harmer

I didn't go to Washington, instead I swept the floor 

The only things I've ever done you can't see anymore 

I knew there would be magic but I turned at the last chance 

These idle hands are staying scared of making any plans 

'Cause the fire needed tending and the windows are so wide 

Sometimes I feel I'm in the world when I'm looking from inside 

I will pack down the snow, make a path to the road 

And I'll think of the long ride 

I hope you don't need snow tires through the Pennsylvania night 

I didn't go, I said no, I said no when you asked 

The only things I'm feeling are the empty minutes pass 

The sun came up and moved around it's down behind a cloud 

I didn't go to Washington and you'll be almost there by now
