lyrics

old trusty, unrested companion
all the glories that you’ve only known
and i can tell by your feet
bare and uphill, hard streets
i’m afraid its all you’ve ever known
it’s ok, it’s all you’ve ever known

let me lighten your cargo in volumes
of weight that you’ve never been shown
soon you’ll sigh and you’ll breathe
for your motor runs clean
i’d like to show you the end of the road
sometimes it’s just too damn hard to leave home

and it’s safe to say my heads in the clouds
while my eyes fix down at my feet
come what may, past my lips, out my mouth
but filtered through clenched teeth

awakened eyes gaze straight up to the ceiling
oh, how i just hate to watch this thing grow
tires sunken in mud, wet, cold, waiting for sun
let my light seep in and warm your bones
a crowded lot, yet you’re still standing alone

and it’s safe to say my heads in the clouds
while the line in the sand has been drawn
oh, the hours i spend on what, where and how
when i doubt you think of me at all
