Lyrics:
You can't beat lightning with a 40 watt bulb You can only go one direction once your backs to the wall The scent in the air and the wind through the magnolia tree The branches bend and drop petals at my feet Street lights balance on the shadow of a lost dog's tail The sky looks like a table covered in fish scales A black cat just crossed my path Reminds me that today could be the last It's no wonder you hurt like a bent crow bar It's no wonder you runaway like dust from the saw The curtains part like ruts down the old mill road You can't expect to hold on and at the same time let go The sorrow is sweet like a ruby in a blind man's ear The truth is not forgiving no matter how convincing it seems Time is naked as a mannequin but always dressed in style After all this time between us can you forgive me now? The world loves bad news when it comes from a pretty mouth The earth groans in sorrow as the farmer hitches up his plough I didn't know what I had till I threw it all away I took things past the point where there was anything left to save From a car window I watched you drift downstream But objects in the mirror are closer than they seem From the outstretched wings of a dirty dove There's a knot only idiots tie and it's called love
