Sewers

(album: AUGUST - 2020)

That bad news gon' leave you stoned
Tia called on the phone
To say you passed in the night

I crumpled onto the street
The asphalt burning my knees
To cry hot tears in July

Why'd you have to leave
Before we found the time?
For apologies
For some peace of mind
Why'd you have to leave?
Gon' haunt me all my nights

I never found out
No, I never found out (Out)
If we could get along in this life
If we could get along in this life

My tears were flooding the road
Like hydrants wet the windows
Of cars that crept passing by

But you would not come back to me
So I laid down in the street
Like water swept down the pipes

I'm floating through the sewers
And out to sea
Maybe we'll meet
On the other side
I'm floating through the sewers
And out to sea
Maybe we'll meet
On the other side

I never found out
No, I never found out (Out)
If we could get along in this life
If we could get along in this life

No, I never found out
No, I never found out (Out)
If we could get along in this life
If we could get along in this life

Why'd you have to leave
Before we found the time?
To be a family
To love without design

Why'd you have to leave
Gon' haunt me all my nights
But I never found out
No, I never found out (Out)
If we could get along in this life
If we could get along in this life

No, I never found out
No, I never found out (Out)
If we could get along in this life
If we could get along in this life
