about

Elliott, the drifter, with pale blue eyes and gentle hands

lyrics

Lord I know, I'm the devil
in the eyes of all the people
on her side of the road
and i sleep still as stone
and feel her tremor
is she dreaming of the same things?
i fight from holding on

her heels touch endless highways
from my heart down to my fingertips
and gently, oh so gently, pulls me in
i wake up every morning
to her songs that silence sparrows
out my window, they all stop to listen in

there is no other Venus in my heavens
all that star light that my friends point out,
and tell me to follow
is as bright as the hot air
i can still hear softly echo
from my mouth
as if it came from another man
as if i'd find the same love again
as if the way she'd still kiss my neck
doesn't make it harder yet
to break her heart and find
a way to untangle mine

and i can't keep pretending,
i'm not just a boy whose twenty-three years
didn't give me room to hold your love
Grace, you tower over me
what crazy life could you have lead
to deal with all the shit i'm dishing out?

so i guess i'm moving out
i'll kiss your head and slip away for now
