lyrics
"Talking and Leaving"
I sit on a folding chair in this motel, look up at the sky
A shiver is chasing its way up, its way up my spine
This desert is cold and it’ll leave you spent and hang you up to dry
It'll hang you up to dry
You've got a mighty subtle way
Of bringing me down
Although you’re a thousand miles away
From this Podunk town
But like a stray dog for his supper, you just keep coming, keep coming around
You keep coming around
I’d like to say that I’ve taken the space to reflect
On the time we’ve been apart
And how it’s been spent
But you know me,
I won’t let myself breath
Long enough to
Hear my own breathe
That old Boy Scout saying keeps winding its way through my mind
"To take only memories and leave only footsteps behind"
But honey you weigh my pockets down,
Drag my feet,
To take in a memory of you
Leaves me weak and with a
Sharp pain in my side
How did it all get so mutually
Unkind?
I lay in my bed let the clock taunt me out of my sleep
Time is like water in this town it may stick stick around but its quality simply won’t keep
Time is like water
But love is like mud
It’s a habit that hardens
And cakes in the sun
Comes off in flakes
One
By
One

I sit on a folding chair in this motel, look up at the sky
A shiver is chasing its way up, its way up my spine
This desert is cold and it’ll leave you spent and hang you up to dry
It'll hang you up to dry
You've got a mighty subtle way
Of bringing me down
Although you’re a thousand miles away
From this Podunk town
But like a stray dog for his supper, you just keep coming, keep coming around
You keep coming around
I’d like to say that I’ve taken the space to reflect
On the time we’ve been apart
And how it’s been spent
But you know me,
I won’t let myself breath
Long enough to
Hear my own breathe
That old Boy Scout saying keeps winding its way through my mind
"To take only memories and leave only footsteps behind"
But honey you weigh my pockets down,
Drag my feet,
To take in a memory of you
Leaves me weak and with a
Sharp pain in my side
How did it all get so mutually
Unkind?
I lay in my bed let the clock taunt me out of my sleep
Time is like water in this town it may stick stick around but its quality simply won’t keep
Time is like water
But love is like mud
It’s a habit that hardens
And cakes in the sun
Comes off in flakes
