Book Of Days Lyrics

Book Of Days lyrics

The air here tastes like poison

The traffic moves on broken roads

The river runs like silver

My own feelings let me down



She's 14 and she's fading

There's a wasted year for every train that passes

She is leaving someday

Someday never comes



This road is poison

Walk me to the wheels, I fear for my life

This road is poison

Lovers coo goodbye, singing, "Don't forget me boys"



Tired of waiting in the cheap seats

She is haunted by her failure here

The river runs like silver

My own feelings let me down



She's 24 and feels it

Like a wasted year for every day that passes

She is leaving one day

One day never comes



This road poison

Walk me to the wheels, I fear for my life

This road is poison

Lovers coo goodbye, singing, "Don't forget me boys"



In Monday morning houses down

Through gravel yards and dirty smoke

To somewhere on the sky line

What I feel is still the same



She's 40 and afraid that there's

A wasted life for every town that passes

She is leaving here but

Nothing here remains



This road is poison

Walk me to the wires, I fear for my life

This road is poison

Lovers coo goodbye, singing, "Don't forget me boys"
