lyrics

Mountain time wasn’t on my time that morning
I shot out of bed you were curled in a ball
The sun was a dim strip of amber across the edge of the earth
And the black oily blue of the sky
I heard your voice ask why
As I wiped the glass dry

Well she mostly draws bulls these days that’s what I’d say
If ever anyone asked about you
I’d say it used to be horses, before that it was trucks
I’d say next it’s container ships docking below
The v shape of ducks

But you always belong to yourself, even when you’re not you
Every time I try escaping I lose
If you were a unit of time what would you be called
Everything that’s ever happened, or could happen
Tied up like yarn in a ball

Somewhere young lovers sneak out secretly
Somewhere a ball wrecks a jail to the ground
But nowhere’s like this and nothing else is as perfect
As the end of the bar after you’ve just sat down
Well I live off paychecks much like you kind folks
Who paid just to hear several songs about fire
and I’ve hit hard times but I’ll still make it work
I’m not one of those jerks who only talks about themselves
(They’re often liars)

But you always belong to yourself, even when you’re no one
You might wear a disguise but you’ll never outrun
If we were a unit of mass, what would we float about
The night and its sound, and the rate that it travels
And they way it unravels as silence
Perched like a bird on a glove
Dried up like bones in the sand
Bleeding like trees in October
Bare as the palm of your hand
Sweet as an hour going backwards
Louder than the wind between planets
Tied up like yarn in a ball
