Distant Days

Chalk the day up to missiles and thunder Walk away from a trembling lake Spirits fade into whispers and wondering Pulling hairs to see what we can take Cut my love up in slices and slivers Left it scattered on soft bedroom floors Threw my keys in the Tennessee River Just to go home and kick down the door Chalk the day up to missteps and blunders Walk away from a trembling face Future fades into wishes and wondering Splitting shares to see what we can take Silhouettes stain the chipped away plaster Dodging glances from faces unseen I'm still serving insatiable masters inside Cuz we don't look the other way Swearing on promises some distant day And i'm too familiar with the taste Spitting and swallowing trouble i've made Cut my love up in slices and slivers Left it scattered on soft bedroom floors Threw my keys in the Tennessee River Just to go home and kick down the door
