lyrics

This town can bring you down, I know
when you listen to the sound
of the planes above & the streets below
no one can tell you what you don't already know
but I'll take you with me when I go

Here's the tallest glass of gin
here's the cheapest jungle gym
here's that hole you're buried in
here's a burning house of cards
here's the sweetest puppy dog
take him with you when you go

Shade those eyes
one hand in mine
Keep those things
but what I have is mine

We'll watch the rivers run below
blue birds sing & branches blow
& hear the hush of fallen snow
no one can tell you what you don't already know
but I'll take you with me when I go
