lyrics

In the town of dead piano keys
I can't believe all the melodies that sprouted
when making it out seemed doubtful
most of the time
I made a point to collect my things
but my return wasn't so long after departure
it seemed to me when we got there
and I knew
the mid-winter of late '06
2007, the summer, and so on after
I remember
I said December would keep me forever
all the miles in the same small car
behind the glass where the pictures are
I can see it clearly
off come the sandbags and we are nearing the ground

Never imagined I could leave
I'd been weaving baskets underwater
with your daughter
while the trees shed their clothes
first signs of winter color your cheeks
but I'm stuck for weeks in an indian summer
with a drummer
who will never leave the show
faces never look the same for long
a collection of cardboard kisses and deadweight
leaving me toothpaste
to eliminate the taste
if home is where the heart is, I
lost my heart years ago, thereby
releasing me, blind, into the night
of a red metropolitan sky
