smoke against the windowpane, just the semis breathing on the interstate
a gray upon the graying of october
hey honey it’s been so long, i got so lost, so far down
the tracks of an old abandoned rollercoaster
see the wheels fell off, and the rails all rusted over

i remember you that night, in the noisy bar, in the yellow light
the radiating heat between our shoulders
and i know good things never last, yeah i know that now but i didn’t then
and i let you lead me blind around the corner

but sometimes still at night i dream, an empty bottle in the alleyway
on a night so clear a billion stars are born
and each one is a world i guess, of dust and flame and wishes cast
by lovers hoping love will last til morning

we tried a while to make it good, you hid the cans, i played the fool
you got some work, i got sick in the mornings
but you lost that job, and we got kicked out
hey babe, ain’t nothing to cry about
and you said you’d send some cash from california

now i got work, down the street, cleaning rooms at the super 8
sometimes i take the path home by the river
i wonder what our daughter’s like, yeah i hope that family treats her right
and gives her all the things we couldn’t give her

now a dream is all that’s left of you, i guess some folks are born to lose
some kids are born for someone else’s cradle
and the days go by, i get along, the air grows cool and the leaves fall
and the smoke it moves and fades against the window
