There were trails of fallen trees. Deciduous and weeding marsh. The lowland birds and crickets roared. The final sound of fall. . Along the banks of the river.
I started out so starry-eyed. Full of hope and wonder. And I wore flowers in my hair. Not aware I'd been defiled. (Every time I see you) I know it's going down.
And I know now, and you know as well. So we're not alone. Took this long to recognize. Took so long to analyze. Bring it round around again. . I know we're at the end.
This fever on my mind, I'm burnin' down inside. My luck may never change or so it seems that way. I know in seven years this curse will disappear. Where has my ladder gone? I feel like I've been robbed.
I needed the rain to wash away indifference. I needed the wind to air out the differences. I needed the sun to warm up my spirits. If I need these elements to feel somewhat centered.
Please listen to me and don't disagree. Even as we fight, it doesn't matter to me. Please listen to me and don't disagree. Even as we fight, it doesn't matter to me.
We stand and watch the stars. The sky was filled without light. The trains below the aeroplanes go. Shuffling through the night. . We made it to the ocean.
You had a chance to go around the world. But you had to be a silver bird. A revelation wouldn't matter much to you. So I heard you bought a lousy dream.
Spiraling down, spiraling round. Nobody writes a song about you. Nobody pays much attention to you. Spiraling down, spiraling round. At this point, I don't believe.
Floodlight, arizona / the fire trucks rush in. Double wide double bed / specks of ceiling paint fall off the tin. And they're standing by / brow begins to moisten as you take.
The spring is over, no more golden race. All the ease and the peace. Has suddenly faded away. . I live a century filled with sorrow and sin. There's no rights, no wrong.
Shelter me from everything you do. Shelter me I cant see the truth. Keep me from this pain I see. Keep me from the pain you deal. Keep me from reality.
Whisper going round the city square. Rumour grows a tumour in your garden. Anticipation as the rain begins to fall. And pools up at the gutter in your hallway.
True blue star: would you stay in my heart?. Or will you fool me once again?. . Time to remember and forget the love you gave, the deep regret.. And in the end, return to dust; and in the end, return we must.
I stumble through this godforsaken. Uncertain of the path I'm taking. But along the way, I make a smile. I hope where I end up might be worthwhile. . I'm holding in the breath of anger.
An obvious display. Of feelings that have dissipated. And I don't have a clue where to start. . You wouldn't let me near you. So I settled for the fear that you'd be.
We lock the gaze tightly upon each other. No others come near, no others come between. As you remain beside me, muted and studying. . In beauty and radiant heat.
The next time that you leave. I'm throwin' everything you own. And we'll have no reason. No reason to return. . The next time that you leave. I'm burnin' out my memory.
You, yeah, you've always hauled my ball and chain. Right to there, the place where I get lost inside of you, yeah. I see your face and hear your voice.
Tell me that you're feeling trapped in this life. Thinking of moving away. You say that it's all for the best. We'll both be better off that way. . My jaw hits the floor as the words sink in.
