Street To Nowhere - Georgia, Can You Hear Me? lyrics

rate me

Felt so holy as the candle

Burned down to the bar.

And she filled me

Like her voice filled the room.

Well my feet got sorta heavy,

And my tongue turned to lead.

She was gone

'Fore I drank confident.

But Georgia,

Can you hear me?

I've been crawlin

Through the trees.

Through the pines,

Through the pines.

Won't you whisper,

That you remember me.

Well I searched under rocks

For the bird who flew away.

If I caught her,

I don't know what I would say.

Cause love don't haunt the tavern

It's not drunk on the balcony.

It don't spill out

At 2AM

Into the street.

But Georgia,

Can you hear me?

I've been crawlin

Through the trees.

Through the pines,

Through the pines.

Won't you whisper,

That you remember me.

I was a leash with no dog

Like a track with no train

Well I hung by my hood

Let the wind have its way

I was lifeless, useless, as a corpse with no grave.

An ascetic, with no pillar or pain

I was a, a shedded hair on a dead mare's mane

And from her fingers

I dangled and danced along the stage.

Well I caught her

When I was taught in the yarn

And I yanked with all the strength in my arm

And she tumbled from the rafters And fell to me

So hard, to my arms.

But Georgia,

Can you hear me?

I've been callin

Across the sea.

Through the waves

To your breakwater.

Won't you whisper

That you remember me.

When they seal you in oak

Throw dirt on your face

May a soft bark sapling

Sprout from thee.

May your bones turn to wool.

May your heart be a nest.

And warm the world

The way you warmed me.
