Oh, that's the way that it goes
birds fly like tee pees over telephone poles
Oh, that's the way that it goes
turn off your t.v.'s and change your clothes
from icy towns in the Midwest
to coastal hideaways
you warmed your blood in the ocean
just like the castaways
we've lost a son to the enemy
just like theology
they said we would forgive them
that's more than I can say

ready or not, here I come, I'll find you anyway
here are the words that I recite to make me feel better
it's par for course that you are off your rocker
first things first, I don't know why I bother
all of your baby steps are driving me nuts
disregard what I said, I don't kiss my mother with my mouth
you took the sun away from sunshiny days and cloudy afternoons
you took the sun away from sunshiny days and cloudy afternoons

the sun is as red as a cigarette
an ashtray clouds can put it out
words are just words when you fill them with words
there's a story unfolding I fear
and the wind doesn't whistle no more
and the wind doesn't whistle no more
cup your hands to your ears
place your hands around my throat
and the wind doesn't whistle no more
and the wind doesn't whistle no more
the sun is as red as a cigarette
an ashtray clouds can put it out
words are just words when you fill them with words
there's a story unfolding I fear
there's a story unfolding I fear

silly as it sounds it wasn't long ago
the you were writing songs about Portugal
I always thought you'd be there until I was gray and old
I guess I am
you have special powers like an extraterrestrial
its so hard to focus cuz my mind is getting old
I forgot half the stories that you have ever told
but you always knew what to say
to make the skies not so gray

All these words were meant for the birds
And the crumbs that you left were unsightly and weird
Take heart in long breathy voice
You say what you did was not a choice
These words are more undone
These words were more undone
For all the compliments left unpaid
The ocean debts were left to the slaves
And the kindness exuded from your heart
Was washed in the sun it was never a part
these words were more undone
These words were more undone
More undone
When you take the breath from a man
Do you sweep all his words under the bed
Do you climb the highest mountain and beat your chest
Your words were all taken out of molest
These words were more undone
These words were more undone
More undone

I thought you'd be late

you asked me how I've been
as if you haven't been around
fences are harder to mend
when you live in a one horse town
I thought you'd be late but we don't have to stay
do you still look the same?
as if I never moved away
everyone that is born will die
that is the only way
I thought you'd be late but we don't have to stay
