It's a delicate hurrah
The lines on my face
Will only stretch so far
And I won"t ever leave
I"m a rootless tree
Tied up to a memory
And I don"t want to be
Anywhere but here
The quiet times ran away
It wasn"t my fault, it was the asphalt
Now the road sings to me
Everybody"s going from A to B
So quickly
But I live here...
Everybody"s gone, gone
To a better place
And I"m the only one
And I won"t ever leave
The shadows grow long
The evening of my years
And I don"t belong
Anywhere but here
The quiet times ran away
It wasn"t my fault, it was the asphalt
Now the road sings to me
Everybody"s going from A to B
So quickly
But I live here
The lines on my face
Will only stretch so far
And I won"t ever leave
I"m a rootless tree
Tied up to a memory
And I don"t want to be
Anywhere but here
The quiet times ran away
It wasn"t my fault, it was the asphalt
Now the road sings to me
Everybody"s going from A to B
So quickly
But I live here...
Everybody"s gone, gone
To a better place
And I"m the only one
And I won"t ever leave
The shadows grow long
The evening of my years
And I don"t belong
Anywhere but here
The quiet times ran away
It wasn"t my fault, it was the asphalt
Now the road sings to me
Everybody"s going from A to B
So quickly
But I live here
