Quiet, Heavy Dreams |
Mighty long shifts are for working |
Heavy dreams are for toting around |
Let’s pretend there’s a place to go |
Where I can lay this hacksaw down |
And I’ve been trying all my damndest |
To get where a kind woman lies |
Ten more hours to a twelve long shift |
'Til these woods turn to her eyes |
The timber cuts so cleanly |
Monday morning when the blades are sharp |
I get a love song stuck in my head |
And cut sequoia 'til it’s dark |
If every hour’s fourteen dollars or a chance closer to her |
Then I’m not just a working mule, I’m the finest of the herd |
And I don’t know who she is or if she might exist |
But if she does I swear to love I’m destined for that kiss |
How’s a man get so homesick |
For a face he’s never seen? |
I close my eyes while sweating |
And think of boys I could’ve been |
But I know that it’s not over |
'Cause I feel her here somewhere |
Through these trees and melodies |
That I’m belting to the air |
If every hour’s fourteen dollars or a chance closer to it |
The man I thought I’d be when I was just a kid |
So I’ll just saw away and let the maul fall to the ground |
Hope to heaven someone hears me |
Even though no ones around |
Mighty long shifts are for working |
Quiet dreams are for toting around |
Let’s pretend there’s a place to go |
Where I can lay this hacksaw down |
