lyrics

There isn't a train I wouldn't take
Bound for hills and mountain lakes
Past the town where you were born

All the songs don't fill the hole
That I've felt since I was born
Whether here or on the road

A home of my own
In some other life
A beautiful wife
In some other life

Even when I'm an old man
I'll remember where I've been
And every one of you I met

But most of all a single girl
Who's always lived upon this world
Always always

A home of my own
In some other life
A beautiful wife
In some other life

I'm a village in the reeds
I'm a poacher in the trees
I'm a girl who died too young
You're the ghost who haunts my lungs

You're the dogs who comfort me
You're the constant fear I need
You're the bones that build my blood
I'm the curse of everyone

Under our roofs we both wait
At checkout counters we both wait
Til someone comes to take our breath away
So enigmatic I know I can't wait
