you could be mine all of the time
if it fits in with what we're doing
the green pastures last year weren't so inviting
and now i know they never will be
abilene i know what you see but you're just a lost cause
as much as i am
because last night i woke up to the sight of the devil
and the pendulum rocked steady as it always does
i don't remember the day i became like this but i know the transition was gradual like age
so abilene come home from new orleans and let's go back to how it all was
because i'll never be young again in my life but i think your presence will let me live a couple more years
that's my problem and it'll always be you're so attached to my soul you swim through my bloodstream

around, again

could of sworn i saw you waiting there
swaying in the rain, pulling knots from your hair
on the darkest of nights, i pushed against the wind
hoping i would hear you say, "around i come again"
there was a light on in the cabin, illuminated the sea
pushed aside the fog, waves rippled and crashed down
within in the strongest of tides, i anchored to the ocean floor
hoping i would no longer succumb to my burdens anymore
i watch you stare intently
can't bear to face what we have done
with our precious gift of life
since our intuition is all but gone
now you move your fossil hands, prop up against the walls
there are birds on jefferson, i can still hear their calls
it is the purest of sounds, the church bells clatter out
though we'll phase into the earth, around we shall come again
i'm sick with intuition
since you left the confines of our home
i am pushed to the edge of a murky dockside
ever since you pushed against the wind and were gone

oh i have a feeling we're gonna know each other for quite a while
guess i don't mind it guess that means i'll let it happen all again
cause you know i've been alone for some time now
sun beams glare from the bottom of the door in my house
and i wish i could enjoy it
but it's harder to smile than it feels
i wake up and realize i'm living my nightmare
cause i have a feeling we've known each other for quite a while
but i guess i've forgotten where we've met
oh abilene don't let me forget again
that in my heart we're still singing
and you holler out of key
yet somehow when we sing we together it's in perfect harmony
and you've got to save my life
i hope you will
and you've got to save my life
i know you will

today i remembered your voice
for the first time in long time
for the last time in my life time
and i took it out on myself the only way i knew how
started thinking of all the ways i dreamt of finding a way to work it all out
but i should know better
promised you i'd find it in my heart to move on
but all i've ever done is move along
through this life through the years
and every night your presence still lingers here
never going home until you can drag me along
and i'm gonna work my hands to the bone
gotta justify a way to keep on keeping on
and grow old with purpose in my soul
today i remembered your voice
but it don't sound familiar tonight
underneath the halos of streetlights
