Now I’m sharp and cold as a butcher’s knife
Perhaps I’m ready now to take on a wife
I’ll let you stab me still and stab me right
Another moment with you and I’ll die and die
And I’ll be buried well smiling at the sky

Cause maybe the time spent with everyone else
Was just a contrast of what I knew of myself
But if your trail was closer to me
Who knows who I might have turned out to be
But thinking like that doesn;t help me see
The road up ahead
_____________________________________
My handkerchief rags and my boots are worn
A helluva a ride from mountain air to lakeshore
I remember you best under the city's elm trees
As I jumped a train eastbound to Milwaukee
But when I left you I no longer knew me
Oh, goddamn these Denver doldrums
Their stifling stillness has run me gone
The stars that aligned used to call my name
Now they’ve all novad into crying shames
When I look all it all seems aflame
