lyrics

she came from down the county line
with a suitcase full of sorry
she seemed to think the lights downtown
were the perfect place to hide
she must’ve stared right through me
with her eyes all ice and starry
lord, I tried, how I tried

she told of summer golden dreams
with the serpent in the garden
brandy wine and cigarettes
as the quarry turned to dusk
and sometimes her voice would trail away
and I could feel her memories harden
just a husk, just a husk

careful you pull up your roots in the sun
careful don’t cast them away
caught in between what you spin and what’s spun
you followed the wandering star
through the deepest of blue

always the wild waves for you

maybe I thought I’d found a place
but the days kept getting longer
I used to catch her staring south
through the window, late at night
I’d clench a fist at every man
her pain told me had wronged her
but she won’t fight, she won’t fight

careful you pull up your roots in the sun
careful don’t cast them away
caught in between what you spin and what’s spun
you followed the wandering star
through the deepest of blue

always the wild waves for you

these days I’m mostly drifting now
got a note the other night
said she was back at home and lost
as best as you’d expect
she said “I can’t live in the shadows
but I keep running from the light”
that won’t reflect, won’t reflect

careful you pull up your roots in the sun
careful don’t cast them away
caught in between what you spin and what’s spun
you followed the wandering star
through the deepest of blue

always the wild waves for you
