Shaking this quilted cocoon
|
Just us two
|
Underneath Middle-western moons
|
By the back roads
|
I¡¯ve got a secret
|
I don¡¯t want to speak
|
The end came as such a relief
|
I¡¯m so low
|
|
Take this from me
|
What it¡¯s worth
|
When you heard I swore vengeance on heaven and earth
|
Till the end comes
|
And now if you¡¯re listening
|
And if you¡¯re at peace
|
Do you have wiser words for me
|
I could use some
|
|
¡°Lay on the rails
|
Withered and frail
|
Why bear this weight
|
When I¡¯d escape¡±
|
I¡¯m sorry I can¡¯t say goodbye
|
You¡¯re just not ready, you¡¯re just not ready
|
|
I¡¯m sure that I¡¯ve been expelled
|
It¡¯s hard to tell if the people you knew so well
|
Really knew you
|
A box of your letters and tapes of your songs
|
How could they be so wrong?
|
|
This vested trust
|
Beyond us
|
So show me then
|
I¡¯m waiting
|
This vested trust
|
Beyond us
|
So show me then
|
I¡¯m waiting
|
