Goodbye, Carolina Blues |
Goodbye Carolina |
I felt cold and I felt weak |
Took a midnight bus from Asheville |
Passed like a ghost through Tennessee |
Brushed the northern edge of Blacksburg |
Like the hair off of your cheeks |
I wish I could fall asleep, half-dead in the window seat; |
Awake for weeks |
Good morning Manhattan |
Stopped at Port Authority |
I’ll take a train under the river |
Ride the A out to the G |
And I’ll walk along your narrow streets |
With a dollar cup of coffee |
Letting it stain my teeth |
Two sugars, a drop of cream |
Bittersweet |
God damn, I missed you Brooklyn |
Caught my breath here on your streets |
I left my winter coat in Charlotte |
And I’m cursing at the breeze |
I’m hiding out from early March |
Read the sign hung in our lobby |
Elevator broke last week |
I walk the stairs to 403 |
I don’t blame you for changing the locks |
I think I’d probably do the same if it were me |
Now I’m gathering up the courage to knock |
Not sure what I’m looking for |
I don’t know what I want |
Do I want anything? |
I don’t want anything |
Well some college student answers |
And my heart crash-lands on the floor |
He says he sublet this place last month |
He never heard of me before |
Well he sees me there collapsing |
And he opens up the door |
It’s all new furniture; |
I barely recognize it anymore |
He says, «I'm sorry, man. |
I wish that I knew more |
I’m not sure exactly what you’re looking for |
But no Dianne, no, she don’t live here anymore» |
Anymore, anymore, anymore |
Dianne don’t live here anymore |
