Title: Off The Rails He went off the rails in White River Junction
In a roadhouse on the eastern edge of town
Knowing finally that the dream had left him beaten
Sinking shots of booze as fast as they'd go down
They had to help him from the stool where he'd been sitting
He was frozen from the stillness in his heart
I said mister you can't drive in that condition
Here's your jacket, where's your keys, I'll fetch your car I drove him to his motel across the river
He sat so quietly I though he was asleep
But the moon showed it's pale face through the forest branches
I could see the tears of anger on his cheek
He said, there's the love you need and there's the love you recieve
and there's a difference
And when the love is wrong you're better off alone
It leaves your heart confused and your spirit twisted
And the lonliness can chill you to the bone
I've had it up to here with loving from long distance
She's had too many nights of waiting home alone
Too many ultimatums, too much blind resistance
Too much anger, too much silence on the phone
He said, there's the love you need and there's the love you recieve
And there's a difference
And when the love is wrong you're better off alone
It leaves your heart confused and your spirit twisted
And the lonliness can chill you to the bone
He straightened up and said I thank you for your trouble
As I parked his car benieth the motle light He said how will you get home, you're miles from nowhere
It's not far I said, I like to walk at night
I said there's the love you feel and there's the love you give
And there's your difference
And when the love you give falls short of what you feel
Words stick in your throat and leave you choking
And what's in your heart is what you best conceal
And so I left him in that motel in New Hampshire
With the TV on, the sound turned down to low
Seeking answers in the shadows on the ceiling
Come tomorrow noon, he'll pack it up and go
I said there's the love you feel and there's the love you give
And there's your difference
And when the love you give falls short of what you feel
Words stick in your throat and leave you choking
And what's in your heart is what you besst conceal
Good bit of song that... if you really need an MP3 of it, I'll code one up if ya give me and email addy to mail it to... and if you agree to buy the CD as soon as you have the chance... Actually I'm probably gonna see Garnet at the Ark in Ann Arbour next week.... Or you could order it from his mom... Valerie Enterprises
