I pulled out with the mtn. leaves blooming
on a dirt road that is soon to be paved
Down to the site of my original establishment
And the west end family grave
One day moves into two i'm losing
everything except for you
I should sing you a song of devotion
Blood runs thick and when it rains it pours down
on the family tree and the fields of war
if I spend my time being broken hearted
and grieving bound
Well I haven't much need to look forward
I've had enough temporary aquisition
and building fences for no gain
Talking dead tress down before winter the freeze
let me rot and fall where they may
Let one day move into two I'm losing
Everything but I got you
And I sing you a song of devotion
Book of Days the way things lay
that's just space and time
but I gave it up for a love
that won't be defined
Jet fuel and traffic lines, pulling up to the Delta signs
Distant shape of my hometown black stain where the wheels touchdown
I pick up the morning news, pass the man sho's never shined my shoes
Through security and to the train that'll take me to the airplane
Count the miles on the highway the sum of all my days
There's a postcard there's a call, there's a picture for your bedroom wall
But do you ever wonder through and through who's that person standing next to you
And after all the nights apart is there a home for a travelling heart
But if I weren't leaving you I don't know what I'd do
But the more I go the less I know will the fire still burn on my return
To keep the path lit on the only road I know
Honey, all I know to do is go
Cup of coffee and my bags are packed same vow not to look back
Familiar emptiness inside as the distances grow wide
And though I vow to memorize the last look in your loving eyes
It's here dusk and there dawn, it's like a curtain getting slowly drawn
