You Are the Lack
I'm sorry if I caught you at a bad time I'm not up to much just waiting to die and sitting around Out and down and I was thinking 'bout the night we moved to town Seems like 20 years ago We said this is where we were meant to go It was hard to know I'll wait another year I will wait here in this town I would wait forever for you my dear And if I ever said I would wait here in this town You know that I only said it out of fear Of growing old alone I'm sorry if the rain never stops I miss you more than Jesus Christ misses his last weeks of life I held you close at Church and Market as the cars searched for parking Seems like 20 years ago We said cold fronts can't destroy a bond this strong Turns out we were wrong I'll wait another year I will wait here in this town I would wait forever for you my dear And if I ever said I would wait here in this town You know that I only said it out of fear Of growing old alone Your ghost is counterfeit You are the most of it That steered us off the coast a bit You are the locusts that bred the wheat that fed the fire that burned the gates of the empire You are the sacrament and choir You are a liar You are the tears on the guardrail, carnations in December You are the train that keeps me up when I live three miles from the track You are the lack We're in the pink, we're in the black, we're in the clear I'll wait another year I will wait here in this town I would wait forever for you my dear And if I ever said I would wait here in this town You know that I only said it out of fear Of growing old alone |
