I looked for you Molly where the morning sun breaks Over the pines along the shoreline around your beloved lake
Or on the ski trail in the backwoods on the freshly fallen snow All the magic places where I know you always loved to go You weren’t there, you weren’t there And you were everywhere
I looked for you Molly underneath the spotlight’s glow
On the stage where you knew the way to steal hearts and the show
On the endless road we travelled together for so long
Or in between the lines of your fearless songs You weren’t there, you weren’t there,
And you were everywhere.
When you play a little harder Live your life a little larger Reach a little farther than most for the sky When a heart that beat so strong is stilled It leaves a bigger whole to fill Makes you wonder how we will survive When you’re not there, and you are everywhere
I looked for you Molly where a sail might catch a breeze Or in a dark room you could lighten up, where you’d put us all at ease
Where your bass line would hold down a badass beat Where your laughter used to mask the tears that lurked down underneath
You weren’t there, you weren’t there. And you were everywhere.
I guess you would have teased me about this song You’d say it’s too sentimental, and I got the groove all wrong It could’a been a little more Motown, a little more soul
A little more rock, and a little more roll
