Lost for many years
It tasted sweet
I soaked my feet
And I was on my way
I could see him from the main road
In the flames of the motel
A darkened sky that carried my farewell
I traveled south
Across the Iron Bridge
I passed the signs
And tangled vines
And I was on my way
Sent him voices on a postcard
So he wouldn't know I'd gone
A folded bird who all my words fell on
Said, no sunlight on your window
No movement on your wall
Strip away these sad old curtains
And hear me call
It was a year
When I thought of him
Where I had gone
What I had done
And I was on my way
In the fall I dreamt of rescues
And my eyes began to burn
One final lie that swallowed my return
There's no hero at your window
There ain't no postcards on your wall
I'll strip away these sad old curtains
We hear you call
I found a well Lost for many years It tasted sweet I soaked my feet And I was on my way I could see him from the main road In the flames of the motel A darkened sky that carried my farewell I traveled south Across the Iron Bridge I passed the signs And tangled vines And I was on my way Sent him voices on a postcard So he wouldn't know I'd gone A folded bird who all my words fell on Said, no sunlight on your window No movement on your wall Strip away these sad old curtains And hear me call It was a year When I thought of him Where I had gone What I had done And I was on my way In the fall I dreamt of rescues And my eyes began to burn One final lie that swallowed my return There's no hero at your window There ain't no postcards on your wall I'll strip away these sad old curtains We hear you call Explain Request ×
