Vast Dead Forest

They kept the bars open late that night

We were just sitting around waiting for a dead man to die

And on my guitar someone painted a night sky

And it bled onto the strings into the wood

I fell asleep on a cold train headed west

Listening to Coltrane with my head against your breasts

And outside a forest fire made a perfect sunset

That's how it is, that’s how it goes, that's how it's done

Open your eyes, all of your fears are a lie

You’ve come too far now to give up control

For this year is still so young, and there are songs desperate to be sung

And there is rain we must convince to fall

I know she'll wait for me at the end of the road

In some vast dead forest she will hold me as I go

Just cause you're a loner doesn't mean you set out to be all alone

It doesn't mean you didn't wish for one more

Open your eyes, all of your fears are a lie

You've come too far now to give up control

For this year is still so young, and there are songs desperate to be sung

And there is rain we must convince to fall
