Lyrics

[00:12.21] Hair blowing in the hot wind,
[00:15.20] time hanging from a clothespin.
[00:17.96] There's no sorrow that the sun's not gonna heal.
[00:22.51]
[00:24.01] I smell the leather of your new car,
[00:26.63]
[00:27.25] drive through the desert after nightfall.
[00:30.06] Sleep on the shoulder, keep the stars all to ourselves.
[00:35.21]
[00:39.28] The kind of love that makes my back hurt;
[00:42.83] Wearin' nothing but a t-shirt.
[00:45.58] She's turning over on a mattress made of air.
[00:50.13]
[00:51.58] I close my eyes, I see a staircase,
[00:55.06] leading upwards into blank space.
[00:57.11]
[00:57.92] All of creation makes a sound too soft to hear.
[01:02.04]
[01:04.54] So I remain between her legs,
[01:10.34] sheltered from all my fears.
[01:14.58]
[01:16.70] While bikers glide by highway shrines,
[01:22.51] where pilgrims disappear.
[01:26.71]
[01:30.89] Know that trouble's been your good friend.
[01:33.84] Catch your company on the weekend.
[01:36.77] Catch your company even once your mind was made.
[01:41.76]
[01:42.95] You said, 'It's over and it's finished.'
[01:46.26] And a headache's all you left with.
[01:49.16] We're no different: I've got debts I'd like to pay.
[01:54.09]
[01:58.39] We should move to Sausalito,
[02:01.34] Living's easy on a house boat.
[02:04.46] Let the motion rock us back and forth to sleep.
[02:09.01]
[02:10.69] And in the morning when the sun rise
[02:15.74] Look in the water, see the blue sky.
[02:17.18] As if heaven has been laid there at our feet.
[02:21.55]
[02:23.42] So we remain between these waves,
[02:28.22] sheltered for all our years.
[02:34.30]
[02:35.74] While bikers glide by highway shrines,
[02:41.36]
[02:41.92] Where pilgrims disappear.
[02:46.23]
[02:48.29] Where time takes icebergs,
[02:51.72] Where fields burn westward,
