Perched in the rain on a slowed down track
Believing everything’s the same if I just turned back
I belong in the wrong as the road sweats choice
And I’m one foot further from the sound of your voice
We can’t speak I don’t know how
I’ve been grinding gears for years on the Erie Canal
I’m as mad as the wind, cold, numbed to the air
If I knew my fate, it’s too late to care
I can’t explain how fast the weeks move on
Underneath the coded bill I’ve gone
Stretching past a pointed back unreached
A lifting force forbids the wanted breach
It was often I would chance a sleep
Taking time and tossing into heaps
And if I cared I’d change the way we play
But not today regretting yesterdays
You’re home misses you
You’re home misses you, too
I’ve been calling you back
I know you’ve been calling me back
And I can’t explain how the winds get strong
No matter which way, no matter how long
Cause if I took these fears, and I made them knowns
We can’t get that far with the want for home
And there’s work at hand I won’t often do
For these tasks are me, and the means are new
And as the work I have soon becomes what’s more
I realize what I’m doing all this for
