Hares

[Verse 1] One look at me and you know I don't have the answers Maybe that's why no one asks me How long I'll be gone [Verse 2] Through the window I watch the ice Slide off the branches And wonder how much of a hold you can Ever really have on someone [Verse 3] I pull into the lay-by To chip the frost off the windshield For all the sky's unravelling, I can't make Headway on my mind [Verse 4] And I see a car rusting by the wayside Abandoned in a field For all my travelling, I can't leave The city far enough behind [Chorus] Sometimes words Thеy run up on a verge Songs seem so fragile Whеn the wind starts to blow Surrounding me I hear it and I see That time on earth is worthwhile And there's nowhere else to go [Verse 5] Pink sky above the farm buildings All just like heather And I open up the van doors, and I just Lay on the tarpaulin We've come a long way, you and me Out into the weather As I look out through the snow Anything but falling [Chorus] Sometimes words They run up on a verge Songs seem so fragile When the wind starts to blow Surrounding me I hear it and I see That time on earth is worthwhile And there's nowhere else to go [Outro] In the little light left over I stopped and tried to focus I thought I saw hares jumping In and out of the grass I head indoors happy and hopeless And fall asleep swilling words in my glass
