i went down to the gas station for no particular reason heard the screams from the high school it s football season empty lot the station faces will probably be there forever i climbed over the four foot fence i was trying to sever the tether moon in the sky cold as a stone spend each night in your arms always wake up alone i lay down in the weeds it was a real cold night i was happy til the overnight attendant switched on the floodlight walking home i was talking to you under my breath saying things i would never say directly i heard a siren on the highway up ahead kinda wish they d come and get me frost on the sidewalk white as a bone tried to get close to you again always wake up alone and as i was crossing our doorstep i hesitated just a moment there remembered the day we moved into our small house til the vision got too vivid to bear you were almost asleep halfway undressed i lay right down next to you held your head against my chest and a guy with any kind of courage would maybe stop to think the matter through maybe hold you still and raise the question instead of blindly holding on to you but we crank up the heat and you giggle and moan spend all night in the company of ghosts always wake up alone
