Central Hillside Blues

[Verse 1]

Alone for awhile, I guess it's true

I lose everything at the sight of you

Take me alive, I dare you now

I’d beg for forgiveness, but I don't know how

Shaking leaves an empty frame

You left without warning in the pouring rain

[Verse 2]

Tear it apart and look inside

Your poems and polish, ain't no way to hide

Perched on a limb, yeah, it’s killing me

Not much to accomplish and nowhere to be

Hallelujah, broken glass

A song ain't worth nothing if it doesn't last

[Bridge]

Something building

Drinks are spilling

On a floor in a town I love

So far from here

[Verse 3]

They ripped up thе streets in old Duluth

A violent reminder of an oldеr truth

Nothing's the same, how could it be?

When I'm not the devil that I used to be

There's a simple blinding light

That left without warning on a summer night
