Lyrics:
[Verse 1]There's a local tavern comfort you evokeThere's a point to life nestled in your eyesWhen you're laughin' at all my jokes[Chorus]Well I tried but I can't forgetBecause the one thing that matters mostIs the shape you take in my dreamsDoesnt fit my waking world[Verse 2]As I fled my birthplace village lookin' backThere's a chessboard set in the distanceThat was made in the recent past[Chorus]Or was it just a cemetery?Or a tombstone dealership?I could not tell from the roadWe were goin' pretty fast[Verse 3]Did the clatter I send you ever arrive?Did you breathe it into your lungs and thenBlow a cloud as you said goodnight?[Chorus]When you swept down the last of itIs it tidy in your room?Do you feel the phantom limboAs you bend beneath the broom?[Verse 4]There's a thousand words I've framed behind my eyesWhen I close my lidsThere's a childhood glimpseAs I leave the day behind[Chorus]And at night when my bones surrenderTo the wind blown from the seaAnd I'm sure that you're the sweetest breeze that's ever blown through me
