Down Across The Delaware |
Bills are paid but it makes no difference |
To the gods that seem to rule our home |
Heat shut off for no known reason |
This old building’s got a mind of its own |
I can tell your footsteps on the stairs from three flights up |
I know the jingling of your keys |
You won’t hear no and you don’t look back and you can’t slow down |
These days you don’t have much to say to me |
In another town what would fetch a good living |
Here is barely hand to mouth |
So I’m going out and get a U-Haul trailer |
Drag it down the turnpike south |
Where the Garden State gives way to the real world |
Falls away in the rearview mirror |
We’ll mend our wounds and wait out the winter |
Down across the Delaware |
We get along in a manner of speaking |
We barely have to speak at all |
Small talk over take-out pizza |
Silently passing in the hall |
Post-It notes… and opposite shifts |
Once in a blue moon we’ll wake up in the same room |
Thankful for these thy many gifts |
We run by night, we live it and breathe it |
We’re the best of the best and I just don’t care |
I’ll mend my wounds and wait out the winter |
Down across the Delaware |
And I’ll see you in the spring |
When the chill don’t cut so deep |
I’ll be back around to give this town another crack at me |
I heard a voice today I swore I knew |
From somewhere down in the southern sticks |
I turned around to see some ragged stranger |
Bummin change on the uptown six |
And I froze like a stone |
Could I ever get that low? |
Turned my face to the window |
There by the grace of God I go |
Where the Garden State gives way to the real world |
Falls away in the rearview mirror |
I’ll mend my wounds and wait out the winter |
Down across the Delaware |
