The Nova Novellas Blues

Intro

Hmm

Ooh

Aha

Hmm

Verse 1

Paper trails

Ink under your fingernails from a long day

Thinking like a veteran of the trade

While I am just fumbling around for a simple phrase to say

Pre-Chorus

She's got a porch full of kittens

A house full of grace

Everything she's ever written

Put a smile right on my face

Chorus

Oh Nova

Sweet Novellas

She's Nova

My Novellas

Bright as a star and sharper than a tack

Giving the world everything and taking nothing back

My friend

My friend

Verse 2

Stuttering

Trying to find the perfect melody for you

I have been stalling for months on end

Scared to let a single shaky note ring out out if it isn't true

Pre-Chorus

She's got a porch full of kittens

A house full of grace

Everything she's ever written

Put a smile right on my face

Chorus

Oh Nova

Sweet Novellas

She's Nova

My Novellas

Bright as a star and sharper than a tack

Giving the world everything and taking nothing back

My friend

My friend

Bridge

Kindness is a currency

Kindness is a crown

Kindness is the way you never let a brother down

You find a way to make it look easy

When the words get stuck in my throat

Verse 3

Meager soul

Comparing my simple verses to your golden scroll

Thirteen cats sleeping on the rug

While you turn a heavy morning into one big giant hug

Chorus

Oh Nova

Sweet Novellas

She's Nova

My Novellas

Bright as a star and sharper than a tack

Giving the world everything and taking nothing back

My friend

My friend

Post-Chorus

Best of the best

Higher than the rest

The very best

My friend

Verse 4

I waited

I promised and I stuttered and I waited

Afraid to get the rhyme slightly wrong

But here is a piece of my spirit tucked inside of a song

Chorus

Oh Nova

Sweet Novellas

She's Nova

My Novellas

Bright as a star and sharper than a tack

Giving the world everything and taking nothing back

My friend

My friend

Hook

Nova Nova

She's the one

Nova Nova

Under the sun

Nova Nova

What you've done

My friend
