lyrics

i put the day away
i keep my coffin tight
i walk a lonely road
in the winter when the lights aren't bright
this house is empty now
all my friends have come and gone
with such an angry mouth
it's hard to keep good company for long

i put on my sunday best
and head to town sometimes
to a bar that no one knows
where they only serve me fine red wine
i think about my lover sleeping now with empty eyes
pine box dreams and bloodless seams
and i cannot find a way to draw the line

but I try and i fight it but it never comes
i get my head strung tight in a winding wheel
and it goes around until i fall
i try and I fight it but it's not enough
i get my head strung tight in a winding wheel
and it goes around until I fall

i keep the sun in mind
i drink my coffee black
i fasten neon signs
to a city where they don't come back
the water’s rising high
and i'll be sinking at the break of dawn
clouds keep coming on a railroad track
and my body is dead but i keep on keeping on

i take off my monday best
and i've been sleeping near the county line
in a bed that rolls and flows
on a tear that never leaves my eye
i think about my lover
coming down heavy with her highway shoes
she's on her feet where we used to meet
and she's bored again with nothing left to lose
