I'm Only Here Tonight
I came to town wearing mountain roads
I came to town throwing knives
I brought my dreams tied in little bows
Tied to a tattered, battered kite
Down on the curb we talked of mountain roads
We drank a backpack full of wine
You said you lost the pair of wings I stowed
With you the last time I left town
We've got to go to the shore
We've got to see those river lights
You know I don't live here any more
You know I'm only here tonight
She only dances with her hair down
Laughs with her eyes like open wounds
She has to kiss so many, many mouths
Her belly's full of empty tombs
We've got to go to the shore
We've got to see those river lights
You know I don't live here any more
You know I'm only here tonight
We've got to go to the shore
We've got to see those river lights
You know I don't live here any more
You know I'm only here tonight
