Further North

Further North

Jets To Brazil
(album: Perfecting Loneliness)

The road tonight is cold with ice and no cars pass by.
Thank god for no phone call.
Just snow and a fire.
December endings and since you sent me things, I just feel further north.
This year took ten years to tell me that I´m alone again.
Everything here´s about to break.
I´m one inch from all that I can take,
and it´s beautiful and sad, but it´s all that I have.
So tonight, let´s stay inside.
I´ll be the husband with a book for a bride.
Tonight, let´s stay inside.
I could play guitar.
I´ve got so many songs that you never heard,
and they weren´t about you.
I won´t change a word just because you´re gone.
The trees creak with arthritic arms.
Brittle in their powdered bark.
Blue moon light, I can´t cry right, but I miss you tonight.
Everything here´s about to break.
I´m one inch from more than I can take,
and it´s beautiful and sad, but it´s all that I have.
So tonight, I´ll stay inside.
There are things that I´d like to try with you, but I stay inside.
Tonight, I´ll stay inside.
I could play guitar.
