Lyrics Danny Came Up - Prep

Danny Came Up

Life lived in paragraphs
Love like it’s measured on the page
Rub the messy thoughts away
And start again
I heard you’d settled back down
Done up some old abandoned place
Somewhere no one else can find you
Danny came up
He sat right down as he gave me the news
Said he’s better, better off alone
Asked him how you were, but I guess I’ll never know
Cracked glass and buzzing lights
The low notes when trucks pass in the night
Always said you had some silence to find
The sun’s up but not for long
Can see there’s a fog that’s blowing in
Guess it’s not a day for driving
Danny came up
He sat right down as he gave me the news
Said he’s better, better off alone
You’d been out of love for so long
Danny came up
He said you’d asked him to give me the news
He looked older, like he’s running low
Asked him how you were, but I guess I’ll never know
Not tonight
There’s mist on the causeway
Not tonight
They’ve closed off the highway
Not tonight
The boat came in too late
Danny came up
He sat right down as he gave me the news
Said he’s better, better off alone
You’d been out of love for so long
Danny came up
He said you’d asked him to give me the news
He looked older, like he’s running low
Asked him how you were, but I guess I’ll never know
