Trailed hill, concrete road
[VERSE 1]
It rained down for five years
Ruined my paper clothes
This town is never dry
Empty like the skin of a ghost
And as I sit here thinkin' bout the soakin' ground
I see the Sun a'glowin' on at the edge of town
[Chorus]
Trailed hill and concrete road, they call to me but I don't go
I got me a house some call a home
But these footprints lead to somethin' else
And it's not somethin' that you can sell
But you can give it out for free
And that's what you did for me
And that's what you did for me
[VERSE 2]
Our minds fill up with clutter
Newspapers piled high
It's hard to make a livin', payin' rent for the sky
But what's the point of livin'
If you don't glimpse the day, that miraculous power
The wind and its sway
[BRIDGE]
Trailed hill and concrete road, they call to me but I don't go
I got me a house some call a home
But these footprints lead to somethin' else
And it's not somethin' that you can sell
But you can give it out for free
And that's what you did for me
And that's what you did for me
And that's what you did for me
And that's what you did for me
[OUTRO]
She don't look back in her notebooks
Doesn't care what she wrote
Aw, she gets the words out her travelin' mind
And then she lets them go
But days blur into nothin'
When it comes to us, I remember the seconds
The sunshine and the dust
I missed her since last I saw her
But she says she's comin' around
And when she leaves I'll see the Sun
A'glowin' at the edge of town
A'glowin' at the edge of town
