I prayed heaven today    Would bring its hammer down on me    And pound you out of my head    I can't think with you in it       I dragged all that I owned    Down a dirt road to find you    My shoes worn out and used    They can't take me much farther       Something always takes the place    Of missing pieces    You can take and put together even though    You know there's something missing       The sun burned a hole in my roof    I can't seem to fix it    I hope the rain doesn't come    And wash me down the gutter       She rides in a car like a queen on a card    And the guns of her mind aim a line    Straight at mine to a heart that was broke    Tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of    A desert    A beach with no leisure a night that's so blue    Feed the aching in you and the background    Birds take a flight from the earth    Where the bonfire burns and the night    Current turns on a lifeboat floating    Down a river of sleep    I can't see her hollow eyes    I'm walkin along with my boots full of rocks    I can't believe these tears were mine    I'll give them to you to put away in a box       Something always takes the place of    Missing pieces you can take and put    Together even though    You know there's something missing    Something always missing always    Someone missing something
