Bright Eyes Weather Reports Lyrics

Weather Reports Lyrics

Well, I left my baby for a dream as lovely

For a love that's only in books I read

And then I hit the cities, spent all my money

I just left my whole life in a taxi cab

'Cause it's just a memory, I can't love completely

When you're really with me, I'm indifferent



But I try to get my head clear

It's too full of ideas that I haven't thought of yet

And time, clocks keep waving their hands

Doing all that they can to get our attention

But the days fly away, down a clean interstate

And I'm staring drunk at a map



So I let my hair down for the second time

Now for the final time, now I had my fun

But there's no returning from the places we've been

Just repeat our slogan, never again



So you split, said you had to get out

Headed back to the south, where everything is gentler

And I stayed for a couple weeks more

All the weather reports said it would be snow for sure

But the storm moved away to a neighboring state

I started the car
