Tether

Living this close to the road
You'll question your vulnerability
Got the curtains closed and there's nothing
For those bold coyotes to seeJust an airplane in the sky
That I hear high up the chimney
And the lonely cold coming up
To find a warmer place to beAfter that Christmas I think that I might sleep
The whole new year maybe see if in the spring
I come in for an afternoon glass of beer
You know I always thought that there'd be lots to talk about
But I never see you and I still look when I go outAlways so much that feels undone and waiting
A pocket that's gaping the threads to weave
On the top of a pile another melody is aching
For a few pretty words to let it be
