Tether

Living this close to the roadYou'll question your vulnerabilityGot the curtains closed and there's nothingFor those bold coyotes to seeJust an airplane in the skyThat I hear high up the chimneyAnd the lonely cold coming upTo find a warmer place to beAfter that Christmas I think that I might sleepThe whole new yearMaybe see if in the springI come in for an afternoon glass of beerYou know I always thoughtThat there'd be lots to talk aboutBut I never see you and I still look when I go outAlways so much that feels undone and waitingA pocket that's gaping threads to weaveOn the top of a pile another melody is achingFor a few pretty words to let it beSimple tether hold this togetherAt least to one placeSo the feelings can't escape into the air'Cause if they do we won't remember that they were even thereAnd filled a moment that we had to spare
