Long Fall
(专辑: Welcome To The Woods - 2004)
The
waves are settling down, and the
sun has sunk into the
sand And the
only calm this city gives is living in these ocean sounds Well, it's not as bad as it could be, it's just not as good as I
thought it would be You'll find out what you miss most when you're out alone on the
West Coast In a
longfall, yes, it's gonna be a
longfall I'm not sure why I'm still here, when I
left my life seemed so clear Now my dreams are heavy things that are muddied by reality Cause I
can't find good pay, and there's no game days on Saturdays Yes, the
only tailgates I
see down are loading smack and crack cocaine For a
long haul, up the
West Coast in this longfall My girl loved the
price of fame, I
lost her when she changed her name Her face used to feel so soft, 'til her agent's doctor pulled it off She got a
new nose and cheekbones, and a
bit part on a
TV show But a
home can turn to a
frozen place, when the
one you love's got a
stranger's face It's a
longfall, out in LA, It's a
longfall. Still no rain, and I
don't feel the
same Just when I
thought I'd head on back, I
saw a
black haired girl on the
concrete path She flung her hair back with her hands, between the
setting sun and a
coffee stand And in the
fading light I
could barely see, when she fired up a
Winston and gave it to me She said, "You look like someone I
know"; I
said, "I do, well, thanks for the
care, cause it shows." In this longfall, there's fine folks out on the
West Coast It's just a
longfall, where there's no cold, and no one gets old In this longfall, there's no rain, but I
know Jane will change In this longfall, yes, I
know things have got to change
