Forest Edge

(Album: In Violet Light - 2002)

I'm a rock and roller
Wary of windfall
Staying at the Get Out Now Hotel
And I want it all

The forest edge
In the deepest darkest depths
On the forest edge
With a blind, benign absentmindedness

You picked up the phone
And heard what sounded like a really big car
Revving way too hot outside
You said, "Tell me where you are?"

Forest edge
For Christ sakes it's darkness
On the edge of town
A sweet and mean unassailing sound

A dream, dream, Springsteen scene, naturally
A dream, dream, torn up in dream, naturally

You detected me shaking
Even when I wasn't shaking
Like all great relationships
This one started with an apology

Forest edge
In the deepest darkest depths
On the forest edge
With a kind, sublime absentmindedness

A dream, dream, guitar dream, naturally
A dream, dream, reoccurring dream, naturally
A dream, dream, Springsteen scene
A dream, dream, guitar dream
