The acoustic guitar (my beloved Gurian) is in DADGAD tuning on this song. We originally intended this to be 'guy with guitar' song, but I picked up my Gibson SG while Ryan was doing some playbacks and, well, look what happened! The amp was being accidentally miked from the previous setup used to record the acoustic, and Ryan lost his mind when he heard how good it sounded, so we kept it.
lyrics
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
