Lyrics

[00:00.20] Well it's cold, and you're bored
[00:05.90] From counting the smart cars on 94
[00:10.13] When you dream you're back home
[00:14.84] But the lakeside won't trust you to walk alone
[00:19.41] Hollow trees, talk of hand
[00:23.82] All the neckties are toasting with empty cans
[00:28.24] And you know why she's gone
[00:33.4] Why the clothes in the river, drifting on
[00:38.46] Slide down south
[00:42.40] Cause when once in a while your confidence leaves you
[00:46.89] Like smoke falls out her red mouth
[01:31.15] Well she left you the holes
[01:36.59] The tracks in the back yard, December snow
[01:40.85] But those sad souvenirs
[01:45.57] They end at the fenceline, and they disappear
[01:50.14] Why you'd follow her there?
[01:54.58] Milwaukee's a deaf ear for winter prayers
[01:58.76] There's no night, there's no day
[02:03.10] With only hope in your pocket, and hell to pay
[02:09.1] Slide down south
[02:12.78] When once in a while your confidence leaves you
[02:17.8] Like smoke falls out her red mouth
