appaloosa bones

UMich - 8/30/24



Was it the voice I’ve known
Or your Appaloosa bones
That carried me home across the plains?
It’s like you say all the time, “World has lost its mind”
Between you and I, I know that I’ve lost mine

Was I that gone?
Man, I hope not
Glad you found me when you did

Well, there ain’t no work
Just Pennsylvania birds
I heard they’re nesting now in the city
And the TVs on from every window, every window
Evenings fall and flicker through the glass

Was I that gone?
Man, I hope not
Glad you found me when you did

We got a window sill
They haven’t made no pill
To get us ’cross the wintertime
Tell time by the walls
Watch the shadows fall
And the pages slow in the room I called your name
And the pages slow in the room I called your name
