Orange Time passing As I move here by your side I'm standing stalwart Through the shifting light Big gleam On the side of a building Many windows flash goodnight Clear eyed knowing where I am Back before the time where I decided how to live And in this time of openness and strife you bring A quiet solitude to my Love for you

The heater's on The windows are thin I'm trying hard to keep this warmth in I turn to her, she's sound asleep Someplace I don't know Doesn't matter how far you've come You've always got further to go I tried to tell you, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss your quiet, quiet, quiet heart Two hours on My eyes are open There's bad blood between us And what did I say that made you cry? Our dream won't die Doesn't matter how far you come You've always got further to go I tried to tell you, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss your quiet, quiet, quiet heart What is that light? That small red light Scorpio rising Doesn't matter how far you come You've always got further to go I tried to tell you, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss your heart I, I tried to tell her, yeah I can only say it when we're apart About this storm inside of me And how I miss her quiet, quiet, quiet heart

A pair of socks is all you gave to me And I wore those socks forever Wore those socks forever I peeked through the banisters I remember hearing talking I remember hearing talking How did they all fit inside? A secret's in the night sky A secret's in the night sky Candle in the corner of the room It was filled with Christmas quiet Filled with Christmas quiet Wandering on a cold, misty morning I was wearing all the jumpers Wearing all the jumpers A pair of socks is all you gave to me But I wore those socks forever Wore those socks forever

Mighty long shifts are for working Heavy dreams are for toting around Let's pretend there's a place to go Where I can lay this hacksaw down And I've been trying all my damnedest To get where a kind woman lies Ten more hours to a twelve long shift 'Til these woods turn to her eyes The timber cuts so cleanly Monday morning when the blades are sharp I get a love song stuck in my head And cut sequoia 'til it's dark If every hour's 14 dollars or a chance closer to her Then I'm not just a working mule, I'm the finest of the herd And I don't know who she is or if she might exist But if she does, I swear to love, I'm destined for that kiss How's a man get so homesick For a face he's never seen? I close my eyes while sweating And think of boys I could've been But I know that it's not over 'Cause I can feel her here somewhere Through these trees and melodies That I'm belting to the air If every hour's 14 dollars or a chance closer to it The man I thought I'd be when I was just a kid So I'll just saw away and let them all fall to the ground Hope to heaven someone hears me Even though no one's around Mighty long shifts are for working Quiet dreams are for toting around Let's pretend there's a place to go Where I can lay this hacksaw down

Wish you gave me your number Wish I could call you today Just to hear a voice I got a long way to go Getting further away If I didn't know the difference Living alone probably be okay It wouldn't be lonely I got a long way to go Getting further away A lot of hours to occupy it was easy When I didn't know you yet Things I'd have to forget But I better be quiet now I'm tired of wasting my breath Carrying on, getting upset Maybe I have a problem But that's not what I wanted to say I prefer to say nothing I got a long way to go Getting further away Had a dream as an army man with an order Just to march in my place But a dead enemy, screams in my face But I better be quiet now I'm tired of wasting my breath Carrying on, not over it yet Wish I knew what you were doing Why you want to do it this way So I can't go the distance I got a long way to go I'm getting further away I got a long way to go Getting further away
