Roadside

Pulled my jacket tight around
and watched the grass turn to straw
March came like an avalanche
and I watched it all come down

you came a long way, didn't you?
just to say you're going back
now I'm standing by the car alone
and I'm fumbling with my roadmap
oh everything that weighs us down
and all the things we won't let go
when we try to throw them out to sea
we learn they're heavier than we ever knew

and darling you will never know

there's not a thing to do to make the time go by
I just want to be moving on, oh and here I am
broken down on the roadside

oh and darling you will never know
and they say it's just as well
go on, just take it all and throw it to the wind
darling what does it take for it to come to this
when every sweet memory brings us
miles and miles from where we want to be

god bless the autumn breeze
finally colder than the likes of me
'cause you know I take it hard
and then I carry it, then I carry it,
then I carry it along

oh and darling you will never know
and they say it's for the best
go on just take it all and throw it to the wind
darling what does it take for it to come to this
when every sweet memory brings us
miles and miles from where we want to be

(nevermind, just leave the car and walk,
it doesn't matter now.
but how're you going to find your way?
how're you going to find your way back?)
