Today And A Lonely Night

(album: Single Mothers - 2014)

For six weeks straight
I've been staying up too late
Looked on the pieces page by page
Nothing learned, nothing gained
There's been nowhere to go
Threats on the city and the bridges are closed
Yesterday fell four foot of snow
From [?] black sky brought a bright white glow
But I've been thinking of going west
Just to climb up as high as I can get
Press my souls to paths great men setting
Push me right out over the edge
Cause I know inside I'll find my way back to the city sometime
Feel the ground shake as the train goes by
Not a star in the sky

My baby she just called and said
The midtown tunnel's opened
So let's ride
And I said darling I just don't feel much like going to Brooklyn tonight
I should try to breathe
Lay me down and try to sleep
Count each time my heart skips a beat
Not a light in the house but what comes in from the street
