Recorded Live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia

lyrics

Meet me on a high wind slowly rolling
Out into the depths of the dark blue sea
Stand me on the tips of a tide wave, growing
Bound in time to bury me, all alone
Hear me sing a song 'neath a moonlit skyway
Dancing like a joker in a circus line
The only light that seemed to shed light my way
Was a candle on the edge of time
Frozen in stone
And I ain't got nowhere to run to now
Well i ain't got nowhere to go

So I leapt through the window
And I'm out on the run
Heading on the highway
And chasing down the sun
Here in a new life, we're six years come undone
Standing on the sidestreets
And I'm out on the run
But there's nowhere left to run

Send me on a highway heading nowhere
Catch me on a one way trackless train
Watch a foolish man hitch a ride on thin air
A whirlwind on a jetplane with no wings to fly
I'll steal a searing sandstone from these deadlands
A souvenir to soothe my walking feet
Laying on the ground where once i would stand
Dead and dry and left to bleed 'neath a burning sky
And I ain't got nowhere to run to now
Well i ain't got nowhere to hide

So I leapt through the window
And I'm out on the run
Heading on the highway
And chasing down the sun
Here in a new life, we're six years come undone
Standing on the sidestreets
And I'm out on the run
But there's nowhere left to run

Lay me in the arms of a long windswept beach
Bathing my legs in the crashing shore
To carry me away with the sea's long-armed reach
And drown me in an ocean storm all alone
And when my final days have arrived to take me
I'll catch a lasting gaze at the midday sky
The questions in my life that long have plagued me
From birth until the day I die, are never to be known
And I ain't got nowhere to run to now
I ain't got nowhere to go
