Pulling Sheets

Pulling sheets

V1
This weather is strange

it's so wild and the rain

comes like curtains outside of

my windows, pain

keeps me going but where

I don't know anymore

I'm just driftin'

Your fingers like feathers

float over my skin

like the drops from a cloud above

my head, within

some strange circle of life

pulling sheets colored white

off the clothesline

CHORUS

do you shiver

under the covers alone

with a sliver

of hope all that's left then it's gone

V2

September has mange
days dry out and fall off of

a body estranged from

a good womans love

rearranged are the vows

in the here and the now

and forever

So water my soil but

use your discretion

pour all of your heart out

I'll flood, learned a lesson

or two in my time

save the best of the wine

for the finish

C

do you shiver

under the covers alone

with a sliver

of hope all that's left then it's gone

BRIDGE

I still remember
the way that she smiled, comin' down the aisle
But the love that I lent her

I came back to claim, after a while

V3

The taste of exchange in the mouth of my heart

is a bitter grain grown in the field where we part
and a memory alone

is an unfurnished home

in the desert

C

do you shiver

under the covers alone

with a sliver

of hope all that's left then it's gone

in a river

of choices and chances we've blown

to deliver

a glass house from what has been thrown

This weather is strange

it's so wild and the rain

comes like curtains outside of

my windows, pain

keeps me going but where

I don't know anymore

I'm just driftin'
