lyrics

TRY CLAIRE

I’m sitting ‘bout this railroad track with a bite to eat
Remembering the hour I called and woke you from your sleep
You curled up from your bunker, left behind all things unfair
And your brother found your letter noting all of your despair
You climbed around my open arms with hopes of our affair
I listened as the honoured man sang praises to you there

You’ll keep your heart in focus spite yearning for a soul
But I’ll be here for as long as you don’t go

We drank the bottle, smoked the day
We laughed, sneered and stared
This town is full of no one, yet you don’t seem to care
That time you broke your bearings swam across the Delaware
Your feet swelled up, hands caught rough, it just hurts a little there
But pain’s for folks who live to tell of caution and beware
I watched as that ‘ole Poet man spoke poets to you there

You’ll keep your heart in focus spite crying through the cold
But I’ll love you just as long as you don’t go

I’m kicking on this railroad track thinking of my sweet
And listening to sparrows sings and how they plan like to meet
I’ll stand up from this stone of lime and smell your cherry hair
You left me once to what’s to keep you leaving me here bare
So, I’ll go to sing of rights, of caution and beware
And step over that soo man who tried to take you, Claire

I’ll keep my heart in focus and walk the road alone
But I’ll be here for as long as you don’t go
I’ll watch you for as long as you don’t go
I love you Claire, just know I didn’t go
