Personal Eclipse

歌詞

I remember the dry grass of Nebraska, grey to distant blue I stopped on hills like slumping shoulders, car cooling, I took off my shoes I drove out west with my sister, she talks more than I do When she fell silent still I'd miss her, the sound of the wind coming through I remember the smoky cups of coffee at the continental divide, mesas strange and red and snowy I felt like I'd arrived I walked on the streets of California in the wail of car alarms Men would shout out to me passing; a stranger with crossed arms I remember the subtlety of canyons black by the roadside A cut in the rocks as I was passing, just a glimpse as you go by If there's something you always are losing, you may not recognize If there's something you always are choosing, something disguised Lately I find myself lonely, I wouldn't have called it that before I always took it as a comfort, what all the distance was for If you can't leave clean as a statement, so true that you almost wince If you can't leave, you get yourself taken, like a personal eclipse
