My own feelings let me down
She is leaving here but
Lovers coo goodbye, singing, "Don't forget me boys"
She is leaving someday
Someday never comes
Lovers coo goodbye, singing, "Don't forget me boys"
Tired of waiting in the cheap seats
Walk me to the wires, I fear for my life
Walk me to the wheels, I fear for my life
This road is poison
She's 14 and she's fading
She's 40 and afraid that there's
She is haunted by her failure here
One day never comes
A wasted life for every town that passes
In Monday morning houses down
Through gravel yards and dirty smoke
This road is poison
Nothing here remains
She's 24 and feels it
To somewhere on the sky line
She is leaving one day
The river runs like silver
My own feelings let me down
This road poison
Walk me to the wheels, I fear for my life
This road is poison
Like a wasted year for every day that passes
This road is poison
This road is poison
There's a wasted year for every train that passes
What I feel is still the same
The river runs like silver
