The Fall Rains
I don't care who it is that is calling
You moved our thanks from ours to his
While outside the snow is falling
That wedding band that meant so much
Signified our blessed vow
Like coffee spills and unpaid bills
And all my pills
It's in the dust, the dust, the door now
I watch his trees from grain to brown
Suddenly this morning
Our town has gotten smaller
That arctic breeze that sings to me
And says now look
Any fool can go in a walk on water
Should have known that time alone
Would only serve to break you down
I don't know why I sit and stare
At that damn thing sitting there
In the dust, the dust, the door now
Snow has turned the water
To please the trees
To cheer up that lady's heart
I'm sipping on a beer
Counting down another year
Couldn't come a second, son
I wonder how
Easily that rang and slid off of me
To your finger
Why don't you stop before i'm home
What changed in these days
Let the memory of us linger
Did you stop before I'm home
Was it just an afterthought
The best thing one I've run about
Casting water from a bow
Fade in our love
We arise in the Schüler fans
I passed upon a crime
For a love that lies there dying
In a dusty dress, a doornail
Such a goddamn shame
Right next to your picture frame
In a dusty dress, a doornail
If anybody asked me what I think
That love is for now
Look in a dusty dress, a doornail
