Blue Chalk

[Verse 1]
So I wonder how she's doing
I hate it when the rumors fly
They give off such a strange sense of mission
Wing your helplessness on high

[Verse 2]
She would never run from strangers
She sang alone like a bell will toll
Way above all the clang and the clatter
Out of fear for her demon soul
Oh, oh

[Verse 3]
Maybe none of this is my business
And none of what I hear is true
I am far from the mint condition
Circulation's hard on you

[Chorus]
Hold tight, hang tough
Love's not enough to keep you off that stuff
To save you
Hold tight, hang tough
Love's not enough to keep you off that stuff
To save you now
Oh, oh

[Verse 4]
He could always find the holes in the bottles
Even with a blindfold on
He never kept his seat on the wagon
Rolling off like a rolling stone

[Verse 5]
Blue chalk between his fingers
Hustling a poolroom song
He always kept a line for the singers
Pointing his cue right from wrong

[Chorus]
Hold tight, hang tough
Love's not enough to keep you off that stuff
To save you
Hold tight, hang tough
Love's not enough to keep you off that stuff
To save you now
Oh, oh

[Outro]
Oh, oh
To save you now
Oh, oh
