1.
Keep yourself from dreaming Breathing Drinking fast Sick of good intentions Did I forget to mention that I am not an honest man Imagine that Keep your distance One word's enough to make me bleed I'll send you packing, Then crawl to touch your sleeve You could never understand Who I am
2.
Deserter 02:21
Can you help me Find my man? He's taken off To somewhere new again No indication He'd be gone When I awoke at noon this Sunday He left his sweaters Blue and green Set for somewhere warm This time, it seems He'll send a letter Someday soon Dressed intention A token of gratitude
3.
No Comfort 02:30
He came in earnest Brandished his gun Found it was useless Nothing had been won Ten-thousand secrets Held to his chest Rotting a hole there No one knew him yet No comfort In books he'd read No patience For idle friends He came the furthest He'd ever been No thoughts of pity For any other men No comfort In tales he'd told No patience For new and old
4.
In My Car 02:19
Been waiting--been waiting for your hand Across the room I've been wanting, watching I'll drive you around If you'll give me the chance To get a--get a closer look Sever the semblance, man You can't smirk and sneer all night Don't tell me you don't need a lift And I don't care which terms you choose I'm gonna get you in my car tonight Been waiting--been waiting for your hand Across the room I've been wanting, watching Do you bleed? Do you know I'm burning? To see the side of a passenger You've got it all sussed out Towers flushed with gold and green You've got some pictures in your mind Held last with nothing new I'm gonna get you in my car tonight
5.
Any Other 04:00
She packs up her bags And she listens To the picture-pure lines She'd been given And she'd like to believe That the blood on her hands Doesn't belong to someone else She played her dues In the summer Felt she was unlike Any other She sang 'Hickory Wind,' Shaking hands in the city But she knew that it couldn't last Trading life for a pat on the back She packs up her bags And she wonders If she was ever unlike Any other Now harmonies sound temporary And the melody's not as good as it seems
6.
Last Verses 02:37
She couldn't keep herself From thinking What if the horrors She'd been dreaming Weren't so far from the truth? Nothing spoken Nothing new She'd been toiling In the bedroom Drowning deadbeats In her perfume Wrapped in sheets, She looked so pure Folded linen like before
7.
Took another winter She'd been waiting for the door To open wide, unprompted Like it always had before Air had never felt so cold This far from home
