Dawn, Running Home

Phosphor bronze heart
And you gotta show
Into a hazy memory where trees hang low
And barely there, barely there anymore
I guess it's all from where you stand
Not where you go
And there's field where nobody slept
And there's a sky that nobody kept

I shivered under covers all night
I crept from the sleep till the brilliant light
I ran back home as the sun painted the sky
And the people never found out why

I see it's time to leave
You got it all wrong
I never hated anyone
Maybe I just stayed too long
I yelled too loud, split the crowd
From those who hated and those
Who were proud
All I have is memory and silt
And a dawn over the hills and a friend
In a house that his father built

I shivered under covers all night
I crept from the sleep till the brilliant light
I ran back home as the sun painted the sky
And the people, they never found out why
They never found out why
