Spring Standards - Heavy Home lyrics

rate me

Satellites and radio towers

Lightbulbs in the deep

Tiny artificial eyes

Protect you while you sleep

CHORUS

And tell your mama

That you've gotta go

And even though it's cold outside

It's the only place that you know

It's a heavy home

Three steps forward, one step back

Eggshells 'neath your feet

Turning all that's gray to black

The daylight's great defeat

CHORUS

And when you get there

There's a tall drink of water

And a bitter pill

It's all you get so choke it down

And when you get you've had your fill

You'll smile your crooked smile for old time's sake

And find your place in the sadness

Don't walk away in the dark

It's not all gray in the sadness

I can tell it when you speak

You shiver everywhere

Paper walls let the nighttime through

But there ain't enough to share

CHORUS
