Anthills and Duck Calls

Slowly, I set fire to the mast and the sails

The waves above to echo those below on my endless ocean trail

I'm going down tonight

I'm going down

Just awake enough on this lonely street to see the headlights

Just in time to notice the sidewalk as a bus comes and kisses me goodnight

I'm going down tonight

I'm going down


Am I only a chain to you

To be so close then break away

I'll let you go if you want me to

Like the last leaves of autumn as they fall

and fade to grey


Slowly I walk, this chilling air tightening in expectation

The waves of clouds hanging on a starless sky like decoration

Are falling down tonight

They’re falling down

Just asleep enough to remember your face smiling at me

Just awake enough to know that I’m still dreaming

I’m going down tonight

I’m going down


Am I only a chain to you

To be so close then break away

I'll let you go if you want me to

Like the last leaves of autumn as they fall

and fade to grey


Watch as the seasons change

And wash me away like a stain
