Western Stars
Hitchhiked through love Passing town to town Love to love Short lived Like a gas lamp Flickering until I burned out Catch me now Cuz tomorrow I’ll be gone Wrung myself out Soaked to the bone This rainfall She ain’t no joke Your broken pieces Fit my broken pieces Until you threw us to the floor Shards stabbing my feet As I ran away The shelter I seek Is always so far off in the distance But the answer is always me I lose track of time It’s all storms blowing through Chasing wild horses Thundering in the other direction I head into the darkness With the hope of a coming dawn These western stars light my way Plastered onto my neck Like the dirty, forlorn wind I keep blowing in And I’ll keep persisting Until you stop resisting And like the winds of change You invite me in
