Living this close to the road   You'll question your vulnerability   Got the curtains closed and there's nothing   For those bold coyotes to see   Just an airplane in the sky   That I hear high up the chimney   And the lonely cold coming up   To find a warmer place to be      After that Christmas I think that I might sleep   The whole new year   Maybe see if in the spring   I come in for an afternoon glass of beer   You know I always thought   That there'd be lots to talk about   But I never see you and I still look when I go out      Alays so much that feels undone and waiting   A pocket that's gaping threads to weave   On the top of a pile another melody is aching   For a few pretty words to let it be   Simple tether hold this together   At least to one place   So the feelings can't escape into the air   'Cause if they do we won't remember that they were even there   And filled a moment that we had to spare
