An Isolated Mountaintop

lyrics

you know that light ain't gonna save you
when you're under the arbor it's just going to claim you
golden maple leaves tumble down
don't drown in november rains running like coastal Carolina trains
or nor'easter shot straight to your brain

what if we give it up again, under street lights left to freeze
bare trees and no one will care what your bird sings

Chantilly to Washington with a pebble in your shoe
locked away deep into the days of late autumn
sunlight pierces the screen
like blue eyes gravel rolls down hill, these new steel rails are rusty still
watch the kudzu grab and choke.

what if we give it up again, under street lights left to freeze
bare trees and no one will care what your bird sings

wind blown back and around, way the door bends in the jamb
as you go out, as you go out.

you know that light ain't gonna save you
when you're under the arbor it's just going to claim you
golden maple leaves tumble down
don't drown in november rains running like coastal Carolina trains
or nor'easter shot straight to your brain

what if we give it up again, under street lights left to freeze
bare trees and no one will care what your bird sings
