The sliced up sun through my morning window
Opens up my eyes to an empty room
The taste of spider web dreams still fillin my mouth up
Today is the shadow of yesterday's tomb
A wingless bird crawlin on untrampled ground
I pour myself out of bed and into the kitchen
Black coffee to wash my throat down
Mmmm
Sad news sad news in the papers
Last night Marie was shot cold by her man
He said it was a case of too much lovin
He said that only she could understand
And I couldn't keep myself from cryin
For loneliness can be so hard to kill
Put on my jeans n went to see my mother
She lives up on a cloud on blueberry hill
And if you read these words tomorrow
Please know that I did not mean no wrong
I just had to go out for a while
Cos life is brief and the road is long
The cold breeze is blowin on my knees
The sunshine is burnin up my eyes
Tomorrow all life might cease
Today I'm lookin for shadows in the sky
The sliced up sun through my morning window
Opens up my eyes to an empty womb
The taste of spider web dreams still fillin my mouth up
Today is the shadow of yesterday's tomb
