The Contractor
I made
heavy what was light,
was looking for a fight
to give creedence to my crimes
I miss you
the boys and my friends
Sierra Nevada winds
and ponderosa pines
Now debt
holds me like regret,
keeps me from moving yet
still I find dumb things to buy
Every time
you'd make a desperate pitch
you said in love we were rich,
we were laughing and crying
Sure being alone is fine
but I can't cross that bridge when I arrive
After the years that passed on by,
do I cross your mind?
Do I cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?
Three
weeks of living clean
but what he really means
is not one knows he's using
I was
a skeleton crew
did the least I could do
to keep the vessel floating
Sure being alone is fine
but I can't cross that bridge when I arrive
After the years that passed on by,
do I cross your mind?
Do I cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?
I
have this problem quirk
I always have to work
or else it's you I see
One day
my breath will join the wind
I'll cease to have been
'cept in what I build and bury
Sure being alone is fine
but I can't cross that bridge when I arrive
After the years that passed on by,
do I cross your mind?
Do I cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do I ever cross your mind?
