When you fell into the ocean
I did not understand
And when the pirate rescued you
The harbor bells they rang
The time on Table Mountain
Thought you'd not return
Imagined that the checkout girl
Had stolen you from Earth
Seems like we’re not meant to be
Not meant for me, not meant for me
Don't say you never asked for this (you asked for this)
A misplaced kiss
Dreamed I saw you burning
Across the endless sand
Saw your heart crash landing
Scars upon your hand
Seems like we're not meant to be
Not meant for me, not meant for me
Don't say you never asked for this (you asked for this)
Our sunken ship

For You
03:41

Packed up what was left
Of what was done and said
In my rusty car
Drove to Arkansas
Ten mornings
Ten blue Ozark nights
Scrambled in my bed
East Texas skies ahead
Waitress said this plate of runny
Eggs is all that's left
For you
Left for you
Broken souls in broken towns
No escape from down and out
Ten miles away from another mistake
Last face that I saw
Leaving Omaha
Backseat papers piled up
Screaming out the days
From you
Days from you

Spanish Umbrella Burning

Come what may leaving today
After all this who would blame me?
Cover my tracks clothes on my back
After today who could save me?
Imagined tenderness
Short nights of ballroom kisses
Let it all go to shit
Spanish umbrella burning down
Drunk with who’s left in this no horse town
Streetlights in sorry mist
Ghost bedroom emptiness
You know it's better like this
Friends say forget we ever met
Easier now familiar stranger
No long goodbye waste of your time
Come to expect your howling silence
What's left is such a mess
Long nights their angry hiss
Let it all go to shit
Spanish umbrella burning now
No sense to make no break it down
It boils in my head
The things you never said
You think it's better like this?

Don't say a word, don't say a word
Just give me a moment
In case you haven't heard, I know you haven't heard
I live where the rocks bend
I should be sleeping
Not making coffee
Fighting for blankets
Seriously talking
Close enough to touch, I'm never quite enough
To keep you here
Did I take your hand in a foreign land or
Did I paint you into a dream?
Cry and cry in the dark no one comes
Drive and drive through the night no one comes
Too long past innocent, worn out and cynical
Hot face caught in the rain
Should have known better but, not unexpected
Wet like your face in the rain
I took my medicine
Turned all the tables then
Left for the harbor and
Watched you drive off again
Don't say a word, don't say a word
I won't believe you
In case you haven't heard, I know you haven't heard
Or you'd be turning back

Emily Waits

Emily sits in her triangle chair
Keeping her head in the fog
Trippin’ on oxygen
Talking to postmen and dogs
And she don’t know how it feels
To be alone
It’s what I heard, what I said it was only
It’s just what I meant at the time
She pictures herself on a boat in the sunset
Rattles to me on the phone
And she don’t know how it feels
To be alone
And she’s not quite what she seems
To be at all
Should I take a little more time?
Should I run away and hide?
She’s so hard to handle
I just can’t find an angle
On Emily
Emily waits for a bus to the country
Running away from it all
Last thing I heard she be coming back Sunday
Looks like I’m in for a fall
And she don’t know how it feels
To be alone
And she’s not quite what she seems
To me at all
