Lyrics My Least Favorite Life - Rosanne Cash

My Least Favorite Life

This is my least favorite life
The one where you fly and I don’t
Kiss holds a million deceits
And lifetime goes up in smoke
This is my least favorite you
Who floats far above earth and stone
The night that I twist on the rack
Is the time that I feel most at home
We’re wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love in a sweet memory
The station pulls away from the train
The blue pulls away from the sky
The whisper of two broken wings
Maybe they’re yours, maybe they’re mine
This is my least favorite life
The one where I’m out of my mind
The one where you’re just out of reach
The one where I stand and you fly
I’m wandering in the shade
And the rustle of falling leaves
A bird on the edge of a blade
Lost now forever, my love in a sweet memory
