Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cross twelve thousand lines
Looking for your face
Only to find not a trace
Even the memory of your mouth
Tries to disappear
Little lights turn into spheres
Blue mountain in the rear view
[Verse 2]
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
[Verse 3]
Cross twelve letters down
Found the longest word
This morning I'd heard
Somebody said they saw you 'round
1st and 23rd
Blue feathers in your hairdo
[Verse 4]
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
Maple, cherry leaves start to fall
Waiting for my woman to call
[Verse 5]
Sweet honey
Stirring in my tea
Stirring me
Forgiveness
All the money in the world
Won't buy it
[Verse 6]
Some nights barely breathing at all
Waiting for my woman to call
