lyrics

Can you let go of something you know like a number
everyday spaces jamming up the flow
maybe I'll tire soon of the mire of longing
what's in the place there couldn't be alone

Christ, its a long day out

Wasn't making good time
when I made up my mind to take a wrong way
taking back steps two at a time

If you put me off again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
you never know, you never know

Forces at work know me for working like a whipped dog
are they turning a tide to see if I'll ride another time bomb

But if you never come 'round again
What would the new mess that you see before you do..
you never know, you never know

Got me one time, I give in for love
got me two times, I give in for nothing

Living with you
I found twenty new ways to be lonely
I say it's high time to pray for a new day
Daddy, I was right to take a year of my life to think it over
and stranger than true, it faded my hope for you

But if you never come 'round again
What would the new mess that you see before you do..
you never know, you never know

Hangin' at old Simon's over the avenue
all my keys out
could you see it from my side..
but maybe you won't
