lyrics

I think I left my heart in Nashville
My soul floats above a Pine Hills dream
I lost my will
Well south of Jacksonville
Stumbling along the cobblestone streets
Beneath the dark hills of the valley
Los Angeles she sings to me
When I left
I could have wept
A sea

A dull light hovers over Portland
Everybody asks about the rain
But I walk through town
With my head down
Daydreaming of my escape
Is there a place for me
In this world?
I know I'm not the first to ask
I'll let you know
When I find a home
At last

When the moon
Shines on the field
I'm walking through
Forgotten realms
Of the unknown
When I feel
Like I'm a ghost
I feel an ache
Inside my soul
Through the flesh and bone

A sixth borough hides in New York City
It floats soft along the Seine
When I fall asleep
There's a place for me
In the same place it's always been
If I could get my shit together
I might make something of myself
But it goes too fast
And nothing lasts
Oh well

There's a part
I've always played
Smiling, shining, happy face
But I know
Right below this cheap veneer
Something slithers under hear
Through the flesh and bone

The silent, hungry Gulf of Mexico
Swallows the blazing sun
Stretched across the sea
Something waits for me
But I'm lost......
