To leave any town, anytime A skill acquired from being alone Only fixed to the stars as they twirl Round the tail of a bear-like stone Round the tail of a bear-like stone
We took a train last week But the train don't run no more So we watched the shadows on the hill Thought about tomorrow and locked the door Thought about tomorrow and locked the door
It didn't take too much to keep that sun away To make it dark so fast Me and my baby got about a month left of food After that I don't know how we'll last I don't know how we'll last
And love can't keep death at bay Good people dying everywhere When shadow's your doctor the price you pay Ask if God is even there Ask if God is even there
This hospital's no place to say goodbye I'm taking her to the shore At the edge of the tide I kiss your eye You know that I've never loved anyone more Never loved anyone more Never loved anyone more Never loved anyone more Never loved anyone more Never loved anyone more
